Windows 11 users can disable notifications entirely or disable the feature per application.
The “Notifications” feature permits apps, websites, and Windows to show pop-ups on the desktops to alert you about new messages, articles, alarms, and system actions you may need to take. However, notifications can be a major distraction, especially when trying to focus on a project or trying to study. In that situation, turning off notifications can help users stay focused.
Furthermore, notifications can use up battery power, especially if you have a lot of apps that are constantly sending notifications. If you’re on a laptop or tablet with limited battery life, disabling notifications can help you extend your battery life. Also, disabling notifications can also improve the computer’s performance
