Windows 10 seems to consistently display it's notifications so large that they are cut-off and impossible to read. The close button also isn't visible, let alone clickable.
This seems like a bug, but it's been the case for years without any fixes... So maybe it's just me?
I can see other examples online, but no real solutions. Example of issue:
To confirm, I have very vanilla display size settings:
With the Phone Link app on your PC linked to your Android phone, you can view and manage your Android device notifications on your PC.
After you provide permission on your Android device, notifications from your Android device will appear on your PC.
Some notifications will have additional actions available for you, like replying directly to messages or snoozing an alarm. Any notifications that you delete on your PC will also be deleted on your Android device.
Once you’ve started receiving notifications, you can choose which apps you’d like to see notifications from.
