Hopefully notifications get saved, even if you do shut the center down. When we re-opened the center, the Java notification was gone. A single notification for a Java update popped up, but when we right-clicked on it to see if we’d be presented with a list of options, the Notifications Center crashed.Ī “Clear all” button also shows up when the center is populated, but because of the crash, we didn’t get to use it. So far, the Notifications Center has been pretty dormant in our experience. Once you do, it should pop up in the lower right-hand corner of your desktop, like it does in the image at the top of this page. Then, open your C: drive, right click on a blank part of it, highlight “New,” and left-click to create a folder, which you should name “Stuff.” Paste notificationact.dll into the Stuff folder on your C: drive.įrom there, all you have to do is double-click on “notification.exe,” which is in the 圆4/x86 folder (depending on which you’re using) to launch the Notifications Center.

When you open either folder, you’ll see two files. If you installed the 64-bit version, you’ll be messing with the 圆4 folder. With the zip file extracted, you should see two new folders in the location you extracted them to, dubbed “圆4” and “x86.” If you installed the 32-bit of the Tech Preview, you’ll need to work with the x86 folder. Once again, Malwarebytes didn’t find anything. To be extra sure that this was all safe, we re-scanned the extracted folder as well. For what it’s worth, before we extracted its contents onto our PC, we scanned it for malware, and Malwarebytes didn’t find anything.
