I'm trying to change the name that shows for my program in the Windows 10 notification. I shows the application name with .exe at the end, I would like to know how to remove the .exe from the name. I attached a screen shot showing what is happening.

In case it isn't obvious my program is named Create VPN Accounts.exe and I would like it to show Create VPN Accounts.

Thank you!

I don't see any way that can be done as the system creates that message to notify the user of the exect process that caused the exception. It is the system and not the program that is doing that. YOu cannot override system processes and messages. Consider how that might be a security issue if it could be overridden.

I don't disagree with what you said, but other program can do it.

If you look at Outlook, WinWord, Brave, Chrome and the SpeedTest applications for example it just shows the application name without the .exe at the end in their notifications. If these apps can do it then there's got to be a way I can do it. Those process for those applications show the application name with .exe at the end in task manager, but doesn't have .exe at the end in their notification message. It just looks so unprofessional with .exe at the end in a notification.

Thank you!

If the application generates the notification then that is tru but if the notification is generated by the system then you can't change it. Since you are not generating the notification then you can't change it.

Here is one way to generate and manage notifications with PowerShell: https://den.dev/blog/powershell-windows-notification/

I understand and that make sense.
