Enable or Disable Microsoft Store Notifications on Windows 11

This article explains how to enable or disable notifications for app installations in the Microsoft Store on Windows 11.

The Microsoft Store app comes pre-installed on Windows computers. It is a digital distribution platform that allows users to browse, download, and install various applications and games on their Windows devices.

Starting with the Microsoft Store app version 22312.1401.4.0, a new notification for app installations setting was added to get a notification when your app is installed and ready to use.

By default, the Windows Store will notify you when an app has been installed and ready to use. The new setting allows you to turn it off or on if not already enabled.

Enabling or disabling notifications for app installations in the Microsoft Store can be useful for different reasons. For example, you can keep the notifications on if you want to stay informed about which apps are being installed on your device.

On the other hand, if you find the notifications distracting or unnecessary, you can turn them off to avoid getting interrupted. It depends on your preference and how you use your Windows device.

Turn notifications for app installations on or off

As mentioned, a new setting in the Microsoft Store app allows you to turn notifications for app installation on or off.

Here’s how to do it.

First, open the Microsoft Store and select your Profile image next to the search box.

Select the Notifications for app installations tiles on the Settings pane. Then, toggle the switch button to the On position to enable it.

To disable it, toggle the switch button to the Off position.

That should do it!

Conclusion:

• Enabling or disabling notifications for app installations in the Microsoft Store can help you stay informed or avoid interruptions based on your preference and usage.
