Hi,

Does anyone know why my notification centre saves up notifications and then gives them to me all at once, sometimes hours after the event?

The notifications are from a variety of sources (but primarily Outlook) so I dont think i can blame any one app.

Have you been playing a gamer, or had some full-screen application running?

hi @freitasm , neither of those. I'm pretty sure I dont do anything out of the ordinary though, apart from having 2 screens.

Is it Focus Assist?

By notifications, I mean the pop-ups that go bing.

Are these notification from individual applications or from a browser (as in using Outlook webmail, Facebook on your browser, etc)?

Both of those.

I use Outlook 365, but there is also a Mail app which is where I think the email pop-ups are being generated from.

Also Chrome, download notifications mostly.

And Windows Security notifications.

I may have to turn off the email ones altogether, that would be a massive help.

Do not disturb turned on for specific intervals?

Mine has done this since the latest large release..

Mainly chrome notifications for me.

I've gone as far as to disable sound for those because it can often ignore do not disturb for some reason...
