I do not currently have this problem as I have notification centre turned
off but I have a suspicion I have seen your problem discussed elsewhere
recently.
If I am not completely off beam the conclusion then was that this problem
that you and others were experiencing may have related to Software update
notifications and if I remember correctly to only software update
notifications relating to the core system files of the Mac OS Mavericks.
In
other words this did not relate to general software update for Apps and it
is surprising that Apple are allowing not just an inaccessible window but
apparently even if you are able to access it, the amount of information is
so sparse that people have suspected it might be a rogue element on their
Mac trying to update files inappropriately.
Now my usefulness as to where to identify the solution to this runs out.
As
I do not have this problem I did not pay that much attention to
resolution.
You may possibly find it in Mail archives for MacVisionaries or possibly
you
may want to look at your notification settings for software update to see
if
that improves your experience.
Anyway good luck.

Subject: Seeking low vision users regarding a really weird OSX problem
So, this has been happening ever since Mountain Lion, but honestly, I've
just been rebooting, and dealing with it. Lately though, this is starting
to drive me crazy! I have Facebook, and Twitter both integrated into OSX.
I also do use YoruFukurou, although I don't know if that's playing a role
here or not. Every couple of days, I keep getting a notification that
pops
up which I visually can see the little white window right below my clock
and
my notification area in the top right of the screen. The problem is, if I
open up my notification center, and interact with the table, I see all the
notifications and I see the dismiss buttons, but even after I dismiss the
different things there, that daw gone window is still there! I don't care
what the heck I do, try and try and try as I may, I can not! get Voiceover
to focus me in the stupid thing! The only way I've been able to get it to
work and go away is to highlight my Macintosh HD volume on the desktop,
being it's always
the top most icon, then take my actual physical mouse, being I have it
tethered to my voiceover cursor, and ever, ever! so slightly move it
diagonally up and slightly to the left. It takes some hit and miss, but
usually by about the 3rd or 4th time of clicking, I can hit that stupid
alert notification. It usually then will go away, until it decides to be
a
jerk and pop up again. Sometimes, even clicking in that area doesn't get
rid of it. I'm finding this more than not now. I've gone into my menu
extras, and I've exitted out of practically everything. Anything from
Growl, Dropbox, Clean my Drive, No sleep helper, Google Drive, Bitcasa,
You
name it! I've killed practically everything! I even disabled them from
running again in my login items. None of this seems to help. I don't
think
it's YoruFukurou, as I said earlier, as even when it's not running, I have
this problem. I thought maybe it was a calendar alert, but I dismissed
all
of those. I don't have Mail opene
d, so it's not an incoming e-mail message. I don't have ITunes opened, so
it's not an app update, nor a sync complete alert. I don't have Downcast
opened, so it's not a feeds refreshed alert. I thought maybe it was a
software update, in general, alert, so I went to the Apple menu, and to
software update, but nothing was there needing updated. I even shut off
automatic updating, just in case that was causing the problem. It
apparently wasn't, as that still! isn't helping. The times that I click,
and can't get the thing to go away, I wind up just having to reboot the
system, and that does it, until it decides to get a wild hare up it's butt
and do it again. Needless to say, this is driving me bananas! It's
visually getting in my way, and frankly, looks gross! having it just
sitting
up there staring/laughing at me, saying, you caint get me, you caint get
me!
LOL! No, it literally isn't saying that... I'm kidding. Seriously
though,
it may as well be. I'm sorry, but
ever since that notification center came along in OSX, it's given me
nothing but grief. I know I could disable it entirely, but then, I won't
get things I do wanna know like calendar alerts, etc. so that's not the
answer.
What on earth else is left that I could try? Before you say disk repair,
permission repair, etc. I'm already ahead of ya. I've done that billions
of
times, and yes, I did it from within the recovery partition, so I'd not
have
locked files in use. I even went as far as to boot to a totally different
disk altogether and do it, and it had no barings whenever I did.
This is driving me sick! I must say... I'm baffled!
Chris.
