Cannot Turn off Notification pop-ups.

[bashbish]

There are a couple of sites I use to get information and I like to leave those windows open. During the time they are open I get Malwaebytes pop up notification that the is MALVERTISING. Firstly I must say bravo to Malwaebytes. I can continue to use the sites with  Malwaebytes protecting my system.

Problem is that when I am using other programs the pop up Notifications become distracting. I have gone to settings and turned the notifications Switch to OFF. Problem is that when I close Malwaebytes panel I still get the pop ups and when I reopen the Malwaebytes panel the switch that I turned OFF is back ON.

How do I get that switch to stay Turned OFF?

I am W10/1809.Malwaebytes version 3.6.1.2711,component package1.0.508,update package 1.0.8982.

have you tried turn off and reboot ... any change?

OK. I opened settings  and switched "OFF" Windows System Tray Notifications, Restarted PC . Opened settings and switch has gone back to "ON" position.

It sort of feels like there should Be a "SAVE" button when you make changes in the settings, but alas there is none.

If it isn't being retained then there could be something reverting the setting, like if you use any kind of rollback/restore software on your system.  Otherwise it could be an issue with permissions, so please make sure you're logged in as an administrator when you change the setting in Malwarebytes and that User Account Control is enabled.

I  have not yet done any System Restores.Not sure what you mean by rollbacks. I am the sole user and administrator.

As an experiment I turned off  BOTH real time protection and windows system tray. When I reopened, real time protection was still turned off but system tray was turned back on. So I'm thinking I must be administrator if it is letting me turn off real time protection, but I do not know what else I can do to keep system tray notifications turned off. Should I reinstall ??

Resolved the Issue.

Settings,click on Install Application Updates.

Now I can Turn Off notifications in Windows System Tray.

Thank you for the follow-up.

Out of interest, when you were changing settings with the previous version, were you dragging the toggle across to the off position or clicking directly on the off position?

I am fairly certain I dragged it. Why? Is one better than the other

[LiquidTension]

In certain circumstances, dragging the toggle across results in the change not being saved, whereas clicking to the different position will always ensure the change is saved.

We have a defect filed for this issue and are looking into a fix for it.

I tried to turn the notifications back on by dragging last night. I closed the interface and reopened and it was back off again. Retried with click instead of drag and it stayed on.

Bravo! Thanks for the info.

Maybe you guys can change it to a circle instead of a switched.
