Alerts in Calendar Not Working

Sequoia 15.3.2


I generally have a "2 days before" alert for my significant events. As of the past month, this feature no longer works. Any remedies? Here is a screenshot of my Calendar - Settings - Alerts - if this might be of any help. I assume that the alerts should show up spontaneously on my desktop  which is the way things worked in the past when the Alerts feature was functioning.





Mac mini, macOS 15.3

Duh ... I don't get it - your response that is. I did have a problem with the notifications not showing on the desktop even though they had been scheduled in the Calendar. I have since solved the problem -

Turns out that this button was Off. How that happened, I don't know but all is well again.

No need to apologize. I think you would be interested to know that in the Alerts window, I still have the following settings - Events : None - All Day Events : None. So evidently, these settings do not have a bearing on whether I get a notification springing up on my desktop because now - I definitely do. No, the key to getting or not getting notifications lies with the Allow Notifications button shown above and now that I have it set to On, things are working just fine.
