Notification Logger guides
Windows Notification History
Windows 11 keeps current alerts in Notification Center, but it does not provide a durable, searchable history of everything that appeared. Once a notification is dismissed or removed by its app, the built-in panel may no longer be able to show it.
The guides below cover recent, dismissed and cleared notifications, explain what can and cannot be recovered, and show how a separate local log can preserve timestamps and message text. Start with the complete guide if you are unsure which kind of notification history you need.
