How to show notifications on the lock screen in Windows 11

The new Windows 11 provides an enhanced experience to PC users with its MAC-like appearance, refined settings panel or user interface. In addition to a new look and improved functionality, it also offers an improved design including a center-located Start menu, taskbar, notification center, and more.

Speaking of Notification Center, even it has gotten a completely new design and is now accessible from the date and time icon located in the lower right corner of the screen rather than from the Action Center hub. This area will display all received notifications, and the notification banner will be visible for 5 seconds before disappearing. This is the default time for banners.

Not only that, this area also displays the number of notifications from different apps and services. If you receive multiple notifications from just one app or service, you'll see a "1" count. For example, if you receive multiple messages on Skype, you will see a "1" notification from Skype. If the notification comes from two different apps, you'll see a count of "2" and so on.

However, if notifications are turned on on your system and you don't see it on your lock screen, there's a good chance that notifications on your lock screen are turned off.
