Notification tray count is wrong












3















The notification tray icon shows the wrong count:



enter image description here



As a temporary workaround to the annoyance of this I thought I would disable the count. This menu option has no effect at all:



enter image description here



Is this a known defect in the current build of Windows 10 (Version 1803, Build 17134.284)? I can't find anything on Microsoft Connect.

  • It is not a known default to my knowledge. I support a few hundred desktops running 1803 and none have exhibited this behavior.

  • @Ramhound Applying the available Windows updates appears to have corrected the behavior. I won't know if the updates themselves patched a defect, or if simply having updated OS files resolved it. In either case, thanks for the suggestion. It's strange that those did not automatically install as they have in the past.

  • @Ramhound I installed KB4458469 as soon as it was available and the problem is still there.

  • @jj_ Same for me - this problem still exists. I've given up and just live with it. Very annoying bug. I believe it might have something to do with the Windows 10 LinkedIn app.

Try to right-click the Action Center icon and select
"Don't show number of new notifications".



Then repeat the same procedure with the newly named "Show number of new notifications".



EDIT : Apparently no longer works.
