I couldn't find anything anywhere about this error, I am trying to make a simple TCP chat with socket. I have made a function that makes a notification pop up on a users screen. But when I try to run it, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\James\OneDrive\Documents\Projects\TCP chat\toas.py", line 4, in toaster.show_toast("Hello World!!!", File "C:\Users\James\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\win10toast_init_.py", line 127, in show_toast self.show_toast(title, msg, icon_path, duration) File "C:\Users\James\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\win10toast_init.py", line 106, in _show_toast Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, nid) pywintypes.error: (-2147467259, 'Shell_NotifyIcon', 'Unspecified error')

I don't know what it is, all I'm doing is a simple "show_toast":

mes = message[len(nickname)+9:]
msg = mes.split(": ")
print(f"{msg[0]}\n{msg[1]}")
t.show_toast(msg[0], msg[1])

Can anyone help?

EDIT:

My code was working fine before, it just suddenly stopped working. I didn't do anything or change any settings.

Hey buddy when you are calling t.show_toast() function you are not giving it the icon path which will be shown when notification comes so you can just add icon_path=None

So you can just try this t.show_toast(msg[0], msg[1]), icon_path=None)

Thanks I hope it helped, Jai hind jai bharat
