How to Fix Discord Notifications Not Working (2026 Full Method)
Discord notifications not working on your PC? Here's the actual fix.
In this video I go through exactly how to get Discord notifications working again — no reinstalling, no guessing. We check Discord's own notification settings, make sure your server or channel isn't muted (this one catches a lot of people), and fix the Windows settings that quietly block Discord notifications in the background, including Focus Assist.
If you're missing DMs, mentions, or messages from Discord even though everything looks normal, it's usually one of these settings sitting off without you noticing.
