burnttoasst notifs goes directly to notification center if 10+ notifications already there

[winadminfvo]

Hi, thank you for your awesome module. I have a question/problem : when there are already many notifications in the notification center it seems burnttoasst notifs don't display on the desktop, they go directly to the notification center. is it a bug ? You can reproduce it by sending a dozen of burntoats notifications, at some point they do not display on the desktop anymore and they still don't show if you clean the action center of all the notifications, so far only a reboot fix this problem.

Heya @winadminfvo, I've not been able to repro this. Fired through 20 and they all displayed (though they queue up and take forever to clear as they are want to do) then once they all timeout to the action center I can send more and they still display.

Could I get you to please send through the output of Get-ComputerInfo | fl OsName, OsVersion, OsArchitecture and $PSVersionTable? Also can you share the exact toast command you're using (or an anonymized version of it, the key is any parameters and data types)?

I finally got around to installing this and see the same behavior. I installed on Windows 10 2004 in PowerShell 7.0.3. Running

toast -text "I am the walrus"

Displays the message in the notification center. Not as a toast popup.

Hey @jdhitsolutions, are you just executing that as a one off or is it buried in a loop at all?

Also are you seeing any of the notifications and after a certain number they are then going to the action center or is the first and every notification skipping to the action center?

What app are they showing up as belonging to in the action center?

[jdhitsolutions]

Running the command just from a command prompt. I see exactly what you show in the screenshot. Everything goes to the action center.

I tried turning off Show Notifications in the Action center but left Show Notifications Banner. Now I get nothing.

In looking at some of the other issues I tried changing my Focus Assist settings and that was apparently the blocker. Focus Assist had been set to Alarms Only. I turned it off and toasts popped up. I added PowerShell as a priority app and it also worked. I think this is really a documentation issue for you.

Im fighting this too, as I cant seem to get anything to show up if Focus Assist is set to Alarms or Notify only. I even found in discussion an example script that set -scenario to Alarm, but it just goes to the bar anyway and never displays.

To work around, I was wondering if its possible to set the regkey to always show the appid (in easiest case powershell.exe) instead of trying to get 1500 people to do it themselves.
