@bob3160,

I'm going to install the feature update today.  Should I uninstall Classic Shell before installing Open Shell?

Since I don't use ClassicShell, I really can't answer the question.

If you run into this problem and find your information gone,
you have 10 days to roll back to the previous version which should return the information wiped out.

I think you need to change the size of the notification box.
Here's what mine looks like.

For me the Notifications area when I click the tray icon takes up a whole column on the right side of the screen.  So there should be enough room to display 10s of different notifications, but I only have 8 ;)

The Collapse or Expand text should be above the notification panel tabs, you would usually click expand to see the brightness toggle.

Collapsed Mode only gives you the top 4 selections.

Since the tiles can be arranged, yours may differ from mine.
