How to Enable or Disable Microsoft Store Notifications in Windows 11
You control Microsoft Store notifications in Windows 11 right from the Store app’s settings.
Microsoft Store notifications let you know when an app finishes installing or is ready to use. Microsoft added this feature to help you know when apps are ready.
These notifications are usually on by default, so you get immediate feedback. You can change this behavior if you prefer fewer alerts or want to focus without 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.
