Thanks for your time and effort.

Is your computer plugged in?

[Ken Regis]

Sorry.
But it’s a FR tradition.

All these years, I had no idea that it even existed.

Control, alt, delete all together.

I don’t have MS but this is what I found to “remove: it so it should also point you in the right direction to put it back. :)

Windows 10 or Windows 11? And has there been a recent Windows update on your machine?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I have found that simply rebooting can fix things like that. It’s worth a try.

[kiryandil]

bgill already rebooted.

Settings > Notifications & Actions.

“Get notifications from apps and other senders” > ON

[kiryandil]

My theory is that they’re trying to force us off larger screen computers onto smartphones and tablets with a smaller screen so they can control what we see more easily.

[kiryandil]

Sounds like that’s the ticket.

[Openurmind]

That is a good theory too... That thought hit me the first time I used Win 8.

Are you logged in?

TY. Do I turn ON or OFF the “Hide content when notifications are on lock screen”??? The instructions are confusing.

[bgill]

Ack, sorry. Windows 11 and no recent updates but this problem has been going on for over a month so can’t remember last update.

[Openurmind]

You are welcome, And I honestly do not know about that one, I would try it both ways and see what happens. A LOT of this stuff is trial and error... :

Sorry I couldn’t help more, I am a Linux user... :)

[bgill]

I have restarted and rebooted many times with no luck fixing it.

[bgill]

Yes, “Get notifications from apps and other senders” > ON
