Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Aetherinox/ntfy-desktop/issues/125

Originally assigned to: @Aetherinox on GitHub.

Hello.
I am using the portable Windows ntfy client and it works perfectly well with my self hosted server. It is subscribed to the topics I need, the same for the Android client. When I send something through one of the topics from the Android client, I do receive whatever it is that I sent, I even get the notification sound on Windows, just not the toast.
However, when I use the "Send Test Notification" within "Help" on the Windows client, I do get the sound and the toast notification

I've tried to search for every setting to no avail. I've tried to send messages with all the priorities.

Can anyone help me please?

So if I'm getting this correct

You do get the correct notification if you use the "Send Test Notification"
You don't get the toast notification if you're attempting to receive a normal notification sent to your instance?

Priorities shouldn't matter. I'm also using 24H2 right now, and I just sent myself a test notification to my ntfy instance and it came back correct.

So v2.2.0 was a massive re-write, as I had to enhance security. Can you do a quick install of the older version at https://github.com/Aetherinox/ntfy-desktop/releases/tag/2.1.3

Try that out and see if you can get notifications. That will at least give me a direction to go in.

I tried the portable 2.1.3 version, with and without the previous configuration, still the same behavior.

Chiming in to echo the exact same presentation on 24H2. The test notification from the help menu pops up in Windows Notifications, but messages from subscribed topics do not. The app makes its own internal configured sound, but it never gets handed off to the windows notification service.

So if I'm getting this correct

1. You do get the correct notification if you use the "Send Test Notification"

2. You don't get the toast notification if you're attempting to receive a normal notification sent to your instance?

I am experiencing the exact same problem. "Send Test Notification" works fine, but other subscriptions only make a sound without any further notification.

That's an interesting one, because 2.1.3 notifications were working correctly. I wonder if something has changed and it's restricted to a particular setup.

@rosystain What platform are you on, Windows, Linux? Also, is yours a self-hosted version, or the official ntfy servers.

Sorry for the late reply, I'm running ntfy-desktop on Windows 11 25H2, I use the self-hosted version.

I also tested the situation when using ntfy.sh, and it performed the same as self-hosting, with no system notifications.
