Google Chrome Notifications in Windows Action Center Won't Load Pages When Clicked

With the most recent update to Google Chrome, push notifications are now in the Action Center.  This would be fine, if clicking said push notifications actually opened the page referred to IN the notification (example would be YouTube video notifications for subscribed channels).  Instead, it just makes the notification disappear.  How can this be fixed?  At it is, seeing a notification for something and then having to go manually search for the item is beyond useless, and defeats the entire purpose of a push notification.  Thanks for any assistance provided in advance!

    Yesterday, I installed the Windows 10 1903 update, and now the problem seems to be solved, when I click on notifications in Windows 10's action center, they will show up in Chrome correctly.

    Hi DreadLight,

    I've recreated your issue and all seems to be working well.

    I'd need to confirm some details so we can further check: 

    Does this only happen to Chrome push notifications?

    Which Windows 10 version and build are you on?

    Type winver into the Cortana search box, then hit Enter.

    Try to uninstall, then reinstall Chrome or check for any pending updates.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Regards.

    Thank you ghkj21

    So before all your updates, you got the notification when you click on it will opening the associated web page i Chrome? I got a  clean install of Win 10 and I have the same problem as everyone else; clicking the notification just closes the notification without opening the associated web page. Thank your in advance.

    This problem just started with me after a clean install of Win 10

    Previously I was running an install of Win 10 UPGRADED from Win 7. There must have been some item or setting preserved during the upgrade process that allowed push notifications to open the associated web pages in Google Chrome.

    However, I recently upgraded to an M.2 SSD and did a clean install in the process. I now have the same problem as everyone else here; clicking the notification just closes the notification without opening the associated web page.
