How to Enable or Disable Microsoft Store Notifications in Windows 11
Microsoft Store notifications in Windows 11 alert you when apps finish installing or are ready to use, and you manage them within the Store app itself.
These notifications were added to give you a heads-up on your app downloads and updates.
They are usually turned on by default, so you get instant alerts. You can easily turn them off if you want fewer interruptions.
Open the Microsoft Store app, click your profile picture, and then select Notifications for app installations to toggle the setting on or off. This controls alerts for when an app finishes installing.
Why Change Notifications?
- Keep them on: To know when new apps are installed on your PC.
- Turn them off: If you find the pop-ups distracting or don’t want interruptions.
