No toasts from OpenVPN in Win10

jmgraves8

So I've been using OpenVPN for years and on my installation of Win10 toasts would show whenever I would connect. But then I had an OS crash and had to reinstall. Now I get no toasts. Toasts are enabled within the settings of the OpenVPN GUI and it shows up within the list of apps that Win10 gets notifications from (notifications on, notification banners on, notifications in action center, play a sound). I still get no toast (and no sound, either). Has anyone else had this issue?

I presume you mean the Windows notification dialogue window which displays when you connect ?

Yes, I just found out they are called "toasts" today, actually, lol. Kinda silly, but, yes, those notification dialogues no longer show up on this fresh install of both Win10 and OpenVPN.

right click on your taskbar -> taskbar settings and check if everything looks ok

"Toasts are enabled within the settings of the OpenVPN GUI and it shows up within the list of apps that Win10 gets notifications from (notifications on, notification banners on, notifications in action center, play a sound)." That last part specifically references the screen you get to through the Notifications and Actions menu in Settings. Taskbar settings deals with the display of icons, which is not an issue here as the OVPN icon does show up just fine.
