Anyone know a way to have a permanent notification icon in the taskbar, I do get informed of notifications by a blue round icon when there are notifications but is there a way to have a permanent icon like in windows 10 (regardless of if you have current notifications or not) ?

I have done a quick search but can't find anything

This is not an elegant suggestion, but just Press the <Windows logo key> and <A> together. It's not a a button, but works just as well for getting Notifications. Good Luck.

I think it only shows theres notifications if there are any. If there are lets say 2 notifications it'll say 2 in the bottom right, Be a bit pointless if it showed 0 if when its not there, also means 0

The problem is that I can not see the past notifications or when I close it accidentally (double click). :mad:

Ahh I see. Usually if click on the notifications I can close it and open it as many times as I please until I press clear notifications. Thats annoying for sure if you like to keep tabs on them
