    Information The Action Center in Windows 10 collects and shows notifications and alerts from traditional Windows applications and system notifications, alongside those generated from modern apps. Notifications are then grouped in the Action Center by app and time. When the Action Center gets a new notification, it will briefly show a notification banner above the taskbar notification area to let you know.

    This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off showing notifications in action center from specific apps and senders for your account in Windows 10.

    Action Center not showing notifications

    Action Center shows that I have notifications. However, when I open the Action Center there are no notifications; notifications not showing.
    This problem started after the Feature update to Windows 10, version 1809 which was installed on 10/2.

    I tried these suggestions and none of them fixed the problem:

    Notifications ARE turned on

    sfc /scannow - No integrity violations

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth - No component store corruption

    Someone suggested deleting C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\usrclass.dat

    Ran Get-AppxPackage | % { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml" -verbose }

    Action Center is not showing past notifications

    Hello,

    I have recently made a clean install of Windows 10 Pro and I don't think the Action Center is working as intended.

    In short, the Action Center does not show past notifications.

    Notification toasts from various apps do appear on the desktop, and the icon for a new notification does lights up, but when I open Action Center either there is no notification there or the one notification is there, but is then automatically cleared once
    I close the Action Center (even if I did not click on it). The Action Center is therefore always empty.

    It was my impression that the Action Center should show a list of past notifications, so that if I am away from the computer I can check the notifications I've missed. Am I missing something or is the Action Center bugged?

    thanks.
