Start-Transcript -Path $LogFile -Append
[Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager, Windows.UI.Notifications, ContentType = WindowsRuntime] > $null
$Template = [Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastTemplateType]::ToastText02
$ToastContent = [Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager]::GetTemplateContent($Template)
$TextElements = $ToastContent.GetElementsByTagName("text")
$TextElements[0] | Get-Member
$TextElements[0].InnerText = "Title of the toast notification"
$TextElements[1].InnerText = "Body of the toast notification"
$TextElements
$Toast = [Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotification]::new($ToastContent)
$Notifier = [Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager]::CreateToastNotifier("PowerShell")

What happens if you change the index’s to 1 and 2 versus 0 and 1?

$TextElements is not an array with items directly accessible by index.
It is an XmlNodeList and has a method named item that allows to access by index

Yep that’s what I missed it’s a node list
