Windows 10 has many built-in apps and there are many others that you would install after installing the operating system on your PC. Most of the apps continuously display the notifications on your computer screen every time an event or action takes place in which those apps are involved.

Although such notifications are important for the users and Windows 10 displays them in order to keep the users notified about the activities that are going on many times you may get annoyed with the bombarding of the notifications and want to disable them temporarily or permanently.

  1. Sign-in to your Windows 10 computer on which you want to disable the notifications that are annoying you.
