Hello! Is it possible to clear the current Windows notifications from PowerShell? By notifications I mean the ones shown by the bell in the rightmost point of the taskbar. I don't want to avoid rec...
- Yes, because the RunTime isn't included in PowerShell 7.4. I'm afraid we can't fix that since the support for WinRT has been removed after just a few versions of PowerShell 7.

I can only add that I tried your script also on Windows PowerShell 5.1 and in my case it gives error as well:
