Alarms are suddenly not functioning correctly

Malthus101 · Sep 25, 2023

Hello

Windows 10 64-bit

I use a lot of alarms every day - I need the messages to pop up and sound an alert.

Occasionally alarms gave problems but then would resume normal function after a while.

However, this time they seem permanently broken.

I hear the alert sounds at the correct time but (i) they are cut short (ii) no pop ups appear so I have no idea what the alert is actually for.

Nothing seems to be fixing this problem and I could find no answers anywhere that address this specific issue.

Thanks.

Go into system settings > apps
Locate the app, believe it's actually called 'Windows Clock'
Click on the 3 dots > advanced options
You can try the repair option which is non-destructive to data
If that doesn't work then a reset is probably needed which will remove all the data (alarms)

Alarms scheduled in what application?

In the "Clock" app that comes per-installed with Windows 10. thanks

Have you tried resetting the app?

Well... How do I do that exactly? The PC has been rebooted countless times, and I don't want to remove all the alarms - they are numerous and complex. Do you mean something else? Thanks.

Fixed! It was the "Notification Banner" check box that was unchecked.

So you helped me find the solution in a different way!

Thanks for your help!
