Problem solving =============== If you are sending too many notifications within a short timespan, you may encounter the following exception: ``OSError: [WinError -2143420155] The notification platform is unavailable.`` You can solve this by either **rebooting**, or: #. disabling the WpnUserService through services.msc or the task manager #. deleting the ``%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Notifications`` directory #. restarting the aforementioned service, and possibly WpnService as well The destructiveness of the latter process is undetermined. As always, rebooting the computer is the safest procedure.
