Tired of frequent banner alerts from applications on the Windows 10 desktop? Do you want to turn off all notifications or even notifications for apps that bother you the most? In this guide, you will see how to do it.
Notifications are a great way for apps to keep users informed. However, at times, you may feel that your notifications are distracting from your actual work. For example, if you constantly receive new email notifications post officey coming to your computer, you may want to turn off the Mail app's email notifications.
Fortunately, recent versions of Windows 10 offer many settings and options to change the default notification behavior. In this guide, we will show you how to turn off notifications for all applications, or for a specific application, as well as turn off banner notifications or the action center only.
Important: We do not recommend disabling notifications for antivirus programs or programs that you have installed to improve security, as this may prevent your protection program from alerting you to viruses or malware.
