Found this excellent post whilst investigating issues with apps like GitHub Desktop, where app not listed in apps in Notification Settings 👍
Perhaps related to the install method (of the app and by the user)
- I have apps installed as localuser eg GitHub desktop seen as command @
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\x-github-desktop-auth\shell\open\command
- looking at apps at HKCU\..Notifications\Settings most appear to be windows internal apps, maybe windows store appid's. MSEdge is listed, looking at the reg this is AppUserModelId for
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MSEdgeHTM\Application
I'm wondering if it's possible to make Windows notification work for myapps (traditional non metro/store .exe's, mainly in HKCU) and how to achieve, eg if I can create a key in Notification\Settings for an HKCU app, and what referencename to use for KeyName, and how that's looked up.
If possible, would "x-github-desktop-auth" work?
eg
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Notifications\Settings\x-github-desktop-auth
Or is this one of those issues that only I'm having?!

No. It will not hurt anything.
Deleting that key will reset and clear the "Get notifications from these senders" list like below. It will then automatically get rebuilt as you get new notifications.
