How to Manage Windows 11 Notifications

This article explains how to enable or disable notifications in the Settings app on Windows 11.

Notifications in the Settings app on Windows 11 refer to alerts and messages that pop up on your screen to provide you with important information or updates from your apps. These notifications can help keep you informed and up-to-date, but they can also be distracting or overwhelming if you receive too many.

Enabling or disabling notifications in the Settings app on Windows 11 can help you manage the amount and frequency of messages you receive. Turning on notifications can be helpful if you want to stay up-to-date with important information and alerts from your apps.

However, if you find that notifications are too frequent or distracting, turning them off can help you stay focused and minimize interruptions. It ultimately depends on your personal preferences and needs.

Then, type 1 To turn on notifications in the Settings app. Type 0 to turn it off.

Then, type the name “EnableAccountNotifications” and enter 1 or 0 to enable or disable notifications in the Settings app.

You may have to reboot your computer to apply the changes.
