5. Here you can initiate the complete deactivation / activation of the notification under Windows 11. Or use the notification assistant to deactivate the notifications on a time-controlled basis, which is quite time-consuming, but a complete short-term deactivation is usually faster.

4.) Is it safe not to get Windows 11 notifications?
Of course, you will not receive any notifications via the Windows 11 notification functions, but there will still be error messages from programs, which are necessary. For example "Could not save file" or something similar.However, some programs have their own notification functions that do not take place via the Windows notification, but are their own solutions, which should of course be set separately. However, it is also the case that many programs that have been newly developed also adhere to the rule of notifications set in Windows 11 or 10.
If necessary, you can point out to the manufacturer of the corresponding software that it adheres to the notification functions in Windows 11 or 10, or if possible, change this in its software solution.
