[BUG]: Ran the standard protection and now my Windows does not display notifications to apps like Instagram and Whatsapp #339

I ran the script a week ago, since then I noticed my Windows does not display notifications to nothing. I really mean nothing, not even Windows Defender alarms. Is there any way I can fix it? Also when I mess around in Settings app, I get a lot of the [System Error:An Overrun of a stack-based buffer in windows] error.

Disable OS Data Collection>Disable app access to personal information>Disable app access to notification
