Frequently Asked Question

Problem

With Chrome version 68 that came out August 2018, notifications sent by Chrome are sometimes not popping up on the bottom-right of the screen like they used to. This is because Chrome is now using the built-in notification system on Windows 10 which can hide notifications in the "Action Center" (icon on bottom-right near clock).

Workaround

For now, we can disable this in Chrome. Follow the instructions below. This is probably not a long-term solution so if you find the following instructions don't work, please open a ticket and we'll look at it again.

Steps

1. Open Chrome and enter chrome://flags in the address bar - Hit enter.



2. Use the search bar to find "notifications"

3. For the heading "Enable native notifications" - switch it to "Disabled"

4. Hit the button to relaunch Chrome and now Chrome will send notifications through it's own system which won't get caught up in the Windows 10 notifications.
