Early this year, Microsoft introduced a Taskbar badge notifications feature on Windows 10 operating system. The feature shows small icons or badges on the Taskbar buttons of installed apps.
This means, if you were using Google Chrome and received a notification from any website, the Chrome icon on the taskbar will have a badge showing the numbers of notifications.
This feature is helpful to users as they can see which apps have how many notifications. However, what’s more, interesting is that the notifications badge is updated in real-time.
Although it’s pretty easy to enable Notification badges on Taskbar icons in Windows 10, the same thing is a bit complicated on Windows 11. If you are using Windows 11, you need to follow some extra steps to enable the Notification badges on Taskbar icons.
