The notifications aren't show in the notification area

A week ago all the notifications in the notification area stopped appear. There is no problem with icons - they all are there, but the notifications aren't display.

My taskbar is set to autohide. When there must be a notification - i.e. when I disconnect a flash drive - the task bar stays for a moment (like there is a notification) and then hides, but there is no notification shown at all. The situation is the same with all other notifications.

By default I work with the checked option "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar". I tried to uncheck this option and select "Show icon and notifications" for all icons, also tried to set "Only show notifications", with no success - the notifications aren't display under any circumstances.

I tried to Reset the notification area icons cache, but this also doesn't help. Tried to turn off Aero - no change. Tried to turn On/Off "Always show all taskbar icons and notifications" using reg files from here, in both cases there are still no notifications.

In fact not a single notification showed in any way for the last week.

Any ideas?

By default I work with the checked option "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar". I tried to uncheck this option and select "Show icon and notifications" for all icons, also tried to set "Only show notifications", with no success - the notifications aren't display under any circumstances.

What did you do here ? It should be checked or unchecked.

Hello Byd, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You might see if using the tutorial below to enable balloon notifications may be able to help.

Notifications - Enable or Disable Message Balloons

Hope this helps,

Thank you for the advice, Brink. I tried it. "Turn off all balloon notifications" in Group Policy Editor was in "Not Configured" state. I changed it to "Disabled", just to be sure, but this doesn't help.

I still think that the notifications are there - the behavior of the task bar is like they are there. But something prevents them to display.

I wanted to say that on my computer this option is and has always been checked - to show all icons and notifications. After the occurrence of the problem, seeking the reason, I tried to turn off global option and try the settings for each icon. As I said - with no success.
