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!

    To solve this problem, your serviceworker's code should look like this:

    self.addEventListener('push', function(event) {

        var payload = JSON.parse(event.data.text());

        event.waitUntil(

            self.registration.showNotification(payload.title, {

                body: payload.body,

                data: payload,

                icon: payload.icon,

                image: payload.image,

                requireInteraction: true,

        renotify: false,

    tag: 'same_tag_for_all_notifications',

            })

        );

    });

    You must set renotify to false and use the same tag for all notifications. This is a half-**** solution, because it works only when a user receives two or more notifications. If they receive just one notification and it goes away into Action Center, it won't open.

    Until the problem with Chrome and Windows Action Center notifications is fixed, you can go back to Chrome notifications as follows.  Go into chrome://flags, search for "enable native notifications" and set that to disabled.  Then restart Windows.  Then you'll see an older-style Chrome notification.  It's not the Windows Action center, but so far it's working for me.  Use this page to test out the notifications - https://www.bennish.net/web-notifications.html .

    I commented here a long time ago and disabled all notifications due to issues of not being able to click or notifications just hanging on my screen requiring an action close it. And still June 30th 2019 and the problem is still here. Come on Microsoft take your finger out of your **** and sort this out. You was happy enough to take my money. Fix it or we will be moving to another OS. Microsoft, You are not alone anymore. Keep treating your users like this and your days really are numbered. better operating systems out there by far and free!!!!  Give your heads a wiggle and wake up and smell the coffee. it's not 1996 anymore.

    The simple answer for this is to turn off the Chrome setting for the windows activity center.

    To do this just enter the following into Chrome:

    chrome://flags/#enable-native-notifications
    

    Then set the 'Enable Native Connections' setting to 'Disabled'

    How does this "activate" the notifications exactly? Or do you mean we should do all that, reboot and then re-activate everything?

    This will show notifications in the Chrome window and not the windows notifications center, that's how notifications in Chrome used to work before moving them to the notifications center.
