Edge push notifications not working [Fix]

A push notification is an alert that appears when new content is added to an app or website. Users can customize these notifications through their browser, but some have experienced issues with them not working in Microsoft Edge. Solutions to resolve this include: 1. Checking notification settings in Edge to ensure the website is not blocked and that the Quiet notification requests option is disabled. 2. Creating a new profile in Edge to see if notifications work with a fresh profile. 3. Clearing cookies for the specific website to potentially fix notification issues. 4. Checking Focus settings in Windows to ensure Do Not Disturb mode is not silencing notifications. 5. Verifying system notification settings to ensure notifications for the website are enabled. 6. Resetting Edge to its factory default settings if other solutions do not work. Push notifications may not function due to being disabled in system settings or the website being blocked. To unblock notifications, users should navigate to their browser settings and enable notifications for the blocked website.

Microsoft confirms OpenSSH issues in Windows 11 23H2 KB5044380

On October 22, 2024, Microsoft released a non-security update for Windows 11 version 23H2, identified as KB5044380, which includes enhancements for user experience but also caused OpenSSH connectivity issues. After installing the update, some users reported that the OpenSSH service fails to start, preventing SSH connections, and requires manual intervention to run the sshd.exe process. This issue affects a wide range of users, though Microsoft stated the number of impacted devices is "limited." A workaround involves adjusting permissions on specific directories using PowerShell commands. Microsoft is investigating the issue and plans to provide a resolution in a future update. Additionally, Windows 11 version 24H2 has its own problems, including inaccuracies in Task Manager and a paused rollout of a new controller keyboard.
