Fix Windows Notifications
A missing notification can be caused by Windows settings, Focus or Do Not Disturb, an app-specific permission, a browser setting, or the application replacing its own alert. The right fix depends on whether no alert was created, the popup was suppressed, or the notification disappeared later.
These troubleshooting guides separate those cases. They cover Notification Center problems, sound-without-popup failures, Chrome and Teams behavior, alerts that do nothing when clicked, and notifications that vanish before you can act on them.
