I found out that it has something to do with Windows Focus Assistant blocking all Notifications. I wanted to turn on Notifications just for Element, but I could not find it in the list. The electron application is simply missing from Windows Notifications Center. After I installed an unwanted competitor, element showed up in the list (see screenshot below). Any ideas how to fix this?
