I don't get any notifications on WhatsApp Windows app
I'm running Windows 11 Home, 24H2
It worked well for a long time, then suddenly, it stopped. I've uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times, and it will work for a day or two, then stop.
I have:
Checked all WhatsApp settings for notifications
Checked all Windows settings for notifications, including making WhatsApp a priority notification'
I had it synched with my android phone, and I could hear the notifications on that, but now, even that has stopped.
I don't know what else to do. Getting notifications is very important to me.

Is there a solution? I don't even use MS Edge, unless it comes up when I click a help link on Windows.
Can this corruption affect notifications on my phone if they're linked? I used to get notifications on my phone, but after the latest update, I don't.I have a message on my update page that says I can reinstall Windows to solve problems, but I don't really want to have to do that if it means starting from scratch just to get notificaions, plus I did that once and it automatically installed updates I didn't want on yet.
This is a known but poorly documented issue with WhatsApp Desktop on Windows 11 24H2, particularly after certain Windows updates. The problem often involves Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime corruption (which WhatsApp uses) or notification service conflicts.
I was being asked to do Windows Reinstall to repair errors, so I did. I hope that fixes it.
You’re feeling frustrated because receiving notifications is very important to you, and you're unsure what more to do to resolve the issue. You're looking for guidance on how to fix this notification problem so that you can stay updated reliably.
In a nutshell, but do you have a solution?
