Thanks for the screenshot T-squared 

 

Have you tried clicking on the  "not now/ show me how/ maybe later" option on the top banner of the app window when you click the app's icon to check your notifications?

Sorry, walter, I can't see ther "not now/ show me how/ maybe later" options you mention anywhere.

Thanks again,

TonyT
