Do this for all apps, or select only the most annoying ones.

Turn off all notifications

Press Win + i to open Windows Settings

Go to the "System" tab → "Notifications and actions"

Scroll down to find the "Receive notifications from apps and other senders" option and turn it off

You will no longer be bothered by messages from preinstalled Windows apps, programs downloaded from the Microsoft Store, or other sources.

Leave only important notifications

• Press Win + i to open Windows Settings.
• Go to the "System" tab → "Notifications and actions".

Scroll down to the "Receive notifications from these senders" list and disable unnecessary applications

Temporarily turn off notifications

If you need to be quiet, you can turn off notifications for a while.

Open the notification panel using the Win + a combination or click on the icon in the lower right corner

Select Do Not Disturb Mode

While this mode works, all messages are saved in the "Action Center" so that you can return to them later.

Disable advertising notifications

The first thing that comes to mind is a pop-up message that suggests trying Microsoft Edge. To get rid of it permanently, you need to do the following.

• Press Win + i to open Windows Settings.
• Go to the "System" tab → "Notifications and actions".

Scroll down a bit and turn off the "Get tips, hints and tips when using Windows" option

Disable lock screen notifications

Windows 10 allows apps to show information on the locked screen. You can view your tasks in your calendar or check your mail without having to unlock your computer. Quite a handy option that you can always turn off if necessary.

Press Win + i to open Windows Settings → Personalization

Go to the "Lock Screen" tab
