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!

    I faced the same issue for almost all websites except Gmail. only clicking the last notification would fire the click event and open the notification link. I`m developing a web app which requires web push notification service so after a few days of investigation I managed to make it work for my app by using the tag and renotify options with ServiceWorkerRegistration.showNotification and replacing previous notification with the new one ( Gmail also does this )

    Thank you very much AlphaCodes, I will look into this.

    Kudos to AlphaCodes here. I implemented the renotify + tag solution and confirm clicking notifications from Action Center now open them in browser.

    Unfortunately there's not much to do for end users. This workaround solution has to be implemented by developers (ie: the ones sending notifications to you).

    Any updates from microsoft? I'm facing the same issue for a long time. Chrome notifications in the message queue in windows notification center just vanished without opening any pages when clicked. only notifications not logged in the center do open tabs in chrome when clicked.
