Windows 10: Notification can't be re-enabled after being disabled

Hi guys! First of all, this is my first post in this sub-reddit, so let me know if it is not appropriate to the usual questions/content.

If you're a true Windows 10 master, this issue is for you!

So here's the problem I've spent about 10 hours trying to fix (because others have the same problem, but no one has a solution yet):

A compiler npm package that I use (Laravel Mix) leverages SnoreToast (through Webpack Notifier and Node Notifier) to output system notifications when the compiler is done running. I decided to disable these notifications through the cog icon of the notification itself by selecting "Turn off all notifications for {App Name}". Since, then everytime the compiler runs, I get:

Notifications are disabled Reason: DisabledForApplication Please make sure that the app id is set correctly.

Now want to re-enable them, but I didn't find how.

I think that the major problem is that the App ID that was defined in SnoreToast's command by the compiler package is not a real App ID. It is just the compiler package's name, which is not a real executable app.

I went into the Registry Editor and saw a Laravel Mix folder under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Notifications\Settings\Laravel Mix which contained an "Enabled" DWORD property that was set to 0 (so the notification was disabled). So I was like "alright, that's easy then, let me just set "Enabled" to 1 and then reboot". I did that: notification is still not showing. I then tried to remove the "Enabled" property completely and reboot: still not showing. I proceeded by removing the "Laravel Mix" folder completely and reboot: still not showing. I also tried to remove "Snore.DesktopToasts" which is what's used to trigger these notifications: still not showing.

I then cloned SnoreToast's project and tried debugging what was happening. So I found that bit of code:

std::wstring error; NotificationSetting setting = NotificationSetting_Enabled; if (!ST_CHECK_RESULT(d->m_notifier->get_Setting(&setting))) { tLog << "Failed to retreive NotificationSettings ensure your appId is registered"; } switch (setting) { case NotificationSetting_Enabled: ST_RETURN_ON_ERROR(setEventHandler(d->m_notification)); break; case NotificationSetting_DisabledForApplication: error = L"DisabledForApplication"; break; case NotificationSetting_DisabledForUser: error = L"DisabledForUser"; break; case NotificationSetting_DisabledByGroupPolicy: error = L"DisabledByGroupPolicy"; break; case NotificationSetting_DisabledByManifest: error = L"DisabledByManifest"; break; } if (!error.empty()) { std::wstringstream err; err << L"Notifications are disabled\n" << L"Reason: " << error << L" Please make sure that the app id is set correctly.\n" << L"Command Line: " << GetCommandLineW(); tLog << err.str(); std::wcerr << err.str() << std::endl; }

So what happens is the following:

• If you specify a random App ID in the command line, it enters the first if and logs "Failed to retreive NotificationSettings ensure your appId is registered" somewhere (not visible in output), but the setting variable remains NotificationSetting_Enabled, so the notification is shown correctly.
• However, if I enter the App ID that is used by the compiler (Laravel Mix), it doesn't enter the first if (so that means a notifier setting is indeed found) and setting gets assigned NotificationSetting_DisabledForApplication.

So, how come there's no notification folder dedicated to Laravel Mix anymore and it still finds a disabled setting? I ran a global Registry Editor search and found nothing else matching "Laravel Mix" or "Mix" or "Laravel".

Thanks in advance for your help! That's a deep issue, I know haha.
