How to Disable Lock Screen Notifications in Windows 11

You disable lock screen notifications in Windows 11 by changing a single toggle in the Settings app.

Lock screen notifications are the alerts that appear on your Windows 11 login screen, giving you a heads-up about new emails, messages, or app updates before you even sign in.

Disabling these notifications stops sensitive information, like the subject line of a personal email, from being visible to anyone glancing at your screen. This is particularly useful if you share your PC or work in a busy environment.

Windows 11 version 22H2 allows users to easily change lock screen notification settings on the Notifications page in the Settings app. This change helps users control what information appears before they sign in, reducing distractions.
