One Drive Personal Vault Lock Notification
hi SimplyHuman It sounds like the notification itself may have been disabled or changed after a Windows/OneDrive update rather than the Personal Vault feature actually being broken.
first check:
Settings → System → Notifications
Make sure notifications are enabled globally
Make sure Microsoft OneDrive notifications are specifically allowed
Also check whether:
Focus Assist / Do Not Disturb is enabled
Notification banners are turned off for OneDrive
You could also try:
Signing out of OneDrive and signing back in
Or resetting OneDrive
Unfortunately, Windows updates do sometimes change/reset notification behavior quietly, especially around security-related features like Personal Vault, so you’re definitely not the only one who has run into this kind of frustration.

Thanks - have performed the checks and all were good. Just updated to May updates and hopefully that will help - somehow.
