I ran the script a week ago, since then I noticed my Windows does not display notifications to nothing.
I really mean nothing, not even Windows Defender alarms.
Is there any way I can fix it?
Also when I mess around in Settings app, I get a lot of the [System Error:An Overrun of a stack-based buffer in windows] error.

win: improve disabling app access #138, #121, #339
413e855 
This commit improves disabling app access by correcting minor issues,
adding missing access control configurations and adding more
documentation (#138).

- Introduce shared functions to modify app access for maintainability
  and simplicity.
- Improve comments in generated code
- Fix revert codes showing errors by using `2>nul` in `reg delete`
  commands.
- Fix disabling app access to trusted devices disables access to account
  information, name and picture on older versions of Windows.
- Move disabling app access to location in the same category of others.
- Add missing privacy settings and configurations.
- Add more documentation to scripts
- Rename script names for consistency and clarity.
- Move disabling access to SMS/MMS to phone access disablement category.
- Adjust recommendation levels (discourage more, as #121 suggests):
  - Discourage disabling app access to notifications on 'Standard' to
    address #339 where user reports lack of notifications as bug.

win: discourage blocking app access #121 #339 #350
7794846 
This commit adjusts the recommendation level for scripts that disable
UWP app access to accommodate user issues #121, #339, #350. It also
extends their documentation to reflect the new changes and with
cautions.

Changes:

- Add caution text for all scripts about potential impacts.
- Move disabling app access to notifications from 'Standard' to
  'Strict'. This addresses #121 and #339, where users report lack of
  notification as unintended side-effects.
- Move disabling app access to phone calls from 'Standard' to 'Strict'.
  This addresses #350 where its effect on the Phone Link app was
  reported as an unintended side-effect.
