Oh right, we probably should mention that somewhere... this module will only work on Windows 10 (and future releases).

We can add some code to the psm1 that checks to make sure those on Windows are at least on Windows 10:

[System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version.Major -ge 10

That's how I did it on BurntToast, I'll throw it in

In my case I use Windows 10 Pro and I get the same problem with [Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager].

Couldn't this be solved by using this way of creating notifications for windows?:

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
$notif = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon
$notif.Visible = $true

$notif.BalloonTipTitle = "Title"
$notif.BalloonTipText = "Some text"
$iconPath= (Get-Process -Id $PID).Path

$notif.Icon = [System.Drawing.Icon]::ExtractAssociatedIcon($iconPath)
$notif.BalloonTipIcon = [System.Windows.Forms.ToolTipIcon]::Info

$notif.ShowBalloonTip(0)
