How Do You Fix the Windows Action Center Not Showing Notifications?
To begin, open Settings by pressing Windows Key + I, then go to Privacy > Background Apps. Now in the right-hand pane, make sure that Let apps run in the background is enabled. If it is disabled, you will need to enable it. (You don’t have to make sure any of the apps are enabled if you would prefer not to, just enable the ones you are actually going to use)
What if it is Already Enabled and Still Doesn’t Work?
If Let apps run in the background is already enabled and you still don’t get notifications, you will need to disable it, then Restart your computer. Once your computer has restarted, return to the exact same location: Privacy > Background Apps and re-enable Let apps run in the background. This should reset the feature and allow Windows Action Center to once again show all notifications normally.
