While we have had someone internally able to reproduce it with WhatsApp, other apps do show them, MS Teams for example:

Do you too have some apps that do show them but not others (or just WhatsApp)?

I just checked. My MS Teams did show badge notification but not Whatsapp. I assume this is something Whatsapp have to fix and nothing to do with Start11?

It's a few years later and I have the same bug - notifications for WhatsApp are not showing up. This seriously needs to be fixed. Basically it makes the entire Start11 product unusable for me. I depend on that unread messages notifications badge!
So are there any news, are there any plans to address this?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I have forwarded this issue again to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

Added: You should able to see the notification if you disable Start11 enhance taskbar.

Thank you,

Thanks basj. The functionality of Start11 enhance taskbar is the main reason why I have bought and why I am using Start11. So disabling that defeats the purpose for me. I really need a fix to show the notifications while using the enhance taskbar feature set.

With our testing here, the Windows Store version of WhatsApp does show an indicator.  Are you using the Windows Store version?

Hey, yes using the one from the Windows/Microsoft Store (I don't think there is another option?). I am on Version 2.2527.2.0
So I guess it's a random issue for me then that cannot be reproduced? Are there any log files that I could send you that could prove useful?

We have had some success in reproducing it, just not reliably.  We are still looking at it...  

Thanks for the feedback and if you find any patterns, we would welcome them.
