Something new-Notifications column opens on left side of screen. Annoying. How can I get it to open on right side of screen?

iMac 21.5", macOS 10.13

Hello Donjay!


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!


If I'm understanding your post correctly, notifications on your Mac are showing up on the left side of the screen, instead of the right side.


Try testing for the issue in a new user account to see if it persists. This article explains how to do this: How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac


If the issue continues to persist even a new user account, you may need to reinstall macOS. Follow the steps in this article called How to reinstall macOS from macOS Recovery


Kindest Regards.

Joseph S. Thanks for your reply and suggestion for fixing my "Notifications" opening on the left side of my screen. After I asked the question of the community I noticed I had two accounts on my iMac so, in desperation, I opened the second account and. Voila!, "Notifications" opened on the right side where it's supposed to.

I inadvertently stumbled on the fix you recommended.
