Slack Sound / Notification Issue With Windows 10, Focus assist is on but its turned off in settings?
I've only recently joined the wide community of people using Slack because I needed to join a workspace for my job. This workspace is amazing and I love slack especially for communication and that's the sole purpose of why I am using it.
I use Slack on my computer and since using it has been great however notifications not coming through with sound are becoming a problem for me. I need to know when certain channels have a new message in them and this is easily done by sound especially when working on two monitors....
When I go into preferences slack alerts me that my focus assist is turned on with a warning message. Then when I go into windows settings focus assist is
turned off and not on. I researched this issue and tried everything on google ranging from reinstalling slack to turning off and on slack notifications to clearing cache and nothing works except reset app data, however I need to do this every time I turn my computer on, which is an inconvenience and easily forgettable.
If anyone knows a way to fix this properly and not just a temporary fix like I have please can you help and comment down below, I would appreciate it :)
Thanks
