Enable Notification Settings in Windows 11

Many Users are currently reporting not seeing the Notification Category in the Windows 11 Settings. Microsoft has yet to solve this problem, however there is a workaround you can use to get the Notification Settings on your computer again. The core of this workaround is a registry key that is normally used to disable certain settings to restrict systems in schools for example. This key can also be used to show certain settings.

Setting the Key manually:

To manually set the key to the correct value, you first need to navigate to the location where it is stored. For that, open the registry editor and navigate to the following path:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

In that folder, create a new String value called SettingsPageVisibility. If this Key already exists, you may also just edit the existing one.

Now, set the value of this key to show:notifications.

After restarting the Windows Settings, you should be abled to see the Notifications Category again and also change the settings.

Setting the Key via Powershell Script:

To set the Key with a Powershell Script, you can execute the following Code:

$Key = Get-Item -Path "HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer"

If($null -ne $Key.GetValue("SettingsPageVisibility")) {
    Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" -Name "SettingsPageVisibility" -Value "show:notifications" -Force | out-null
}
else {
    New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" -Name "SettingsPageVisibility" -PropertyType "String" -Value "show:notifications" | out-null
}

Hi There, I am a Swiss System engineer in training and I wanna start a Blog. I have no Idea what software to use, where to start, what to blog about (Something IT related of course but I don't know what). I was wondering if maybe someone in the dev.to community already has or had a blog and could share some tips on how and where to start.

What do you guys use to organize yourself?

I am currently in an apprenticeship to become a computer scientist. I am very interested in these topics and am also very motivated to work. I just have a lot of trouble organizing and prioritizing my work. I always forget simple things.

Do you have any tips or tricks to make this easier?
