Disable Alarm Sound in Windows 11 Focus Sessions

This article describes steps to turn on or off the end-of-break alarm sound after a Focus break session in Windows 11.

Focus is a new feature in Windows 11 that helps you minimize distractions. To help you stay on track, it integrates with the Clock app with features like a focus timer and music integration.

When you set a long Focus session, you can also include breaks in between. These breaks help you do other things before resuming work again. For example, they may help you recharge and refocus or sometimes take a bio-break.

By default, after each Focus break session, you will hear an alarm telling you the session break has ended.

Some users might find this helpful. However, few users find the alarm sound annoying and distracting. If you find the alarm sound after a Focus break session distracting, you can turn it off.

Those who want to be alerted with an alarm sound can enable or turn this feature on.
