Spawn test notifications is broken

[bel57]

Title.
Clicking on spawn notification does nothing..
I've got lucky once by restarting the app and spamming the button, but that's it. Can you look into it?
As a workaround, I have to send a message to self (IM, email, etc.)

Win11 23H2
v2.1.3

The current implementation is using WinForms NotifyIcon, I will look into changing the method of spawning notifications to be more compatible.

This is possibly an issue with your system's registry, try this.

From StackOverflow:

This was the fix in Windows 10:
Open regedit.exe
Navigate to HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Set (or add) EnableBalloonTips (as REG_DWORD) and set value to 1
Reboot.

Isn't that registry trick to bring back legacy balloon tooltips? I have no issue with notifications banners and tooltips, usually. Indeed I don't have this in the registry and don't think it's needed 🤔

Looks like there is no need to mess with the registry, can you update your code instead?

In Windows 10/11, balloon tips are notifications, so therefore creating a balloon tip will create a notification. I will check if there are other better methods to create a notification.

I find it weird that it popped up, at least once. Again, as the app is working fine for me so that test button is not a priority. Thanks for your work!

I have released 2.1.4, which uses Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notifications instead of NotifyIcon, please take a look and see if it's working for you.

Confirmed, it's working perfectly now. Thank you for for the quick fix!
