Many PC users find Windows’ constant notifications, those little speech bubbles in the bottom right corner (Message Suggestions), disruptive. Fortunately, disabling these pop-ups is a simple process.
Disabling Windows notifications
One quick method involves clicking the three dots in the top right corner of the notification pop-up and selecting “Disable all notifications for Message Suggestions.” Alternatively, you can achieve the same result through the Windows Settings menu. Search for “Settings” in the taskbar, open the Settings app, and navigate to “Notifications & actions.” Here, you can toggle the slider under “Get notifications from apps and other senders” to the off position.
Alternative Notification Management
Beyond completely disabling notifications, Windows offers granular control. Within the “Notifications & actions” settings, you can customize which apps are allowed to send notifications. This allows you to silence less important apps while still receiving crucial alerts. You can also adjust notification behavior, such as banner appearance and sound.
