How to dismiss a stuck notification?
Lately I have been getting system notifications with no X on them to dismiss them. They are not going away on their own, I cannot move them. The only way that I have found to get rid of them is to restart my MacBook and then the dismissal X appears.
Does anyone know how to dismiss these without the reboot? (it is making me feel like I am using a windows computer again) I have all updates installed (Sonoma 14.5 (23F79)) and it is a MacBook Pro M2 Max 2023.
Swipe right over the notice with two fingers
When I woke out from sleep to try, it was gone. Will try next time.
If you open Notification Center, is it listed there with an X? Hover your pointer over the notification if you don’t see the X at first.

You might also try right-clicking on the notification. Or try holding down the option key and hovering the pointer over it. You shouldn’t have to do that, but figure it’s worth a try to see what happens.
Also, to save yourself some time and trouble, try logging out and logging back in instead of restarting (if you haven’t tried that already).

As far as right clicking, I was unable to interact with it at all. I tried right clicking, dragging it, mousing over it (usually this brings up the X and a little option to snooze it)
If the 2-finger swipe doesn’t work, you can also try clicking and dragging it to the right.
