Notifcation Badge in Windows 11 Taskbar won't go away.

Howdy, everyone. 

I'm currently in an annoying situation where the taskbar shows the notification badge as if I had an unread message, even though I do not. I have two accounts and I've swapped between them and this phenomenon occurs with both. 

I have tried:

  • Restarting Teams
  • Restarting my PC
  • Reinstalling teams
  • Marking the chats as unread and then reading them
  • Logging into the browser version and doing the above

      The question was tagged as applying to Teams. I have the same problem.
      I don't want to turn off notification badges; I just want for Teams to not show one when there aren't any.

      But when he got there, the cupboard was bare!

      Deleted That solution breaks the functionality of taskbar badges - which is even worse.
