Focus assist (also called quiet hours in earlier versions of Windows 10) allows you to avoid distracting notifications when you need to stay focused. It's set by default to activate automatically when you're duplicating your display, playing a game, or using an app in full-screen mode. You can control any or all of these, as well as determine to what level notifications are suppressed.
How to manage focus settings for Windows 11/10?
To turn off notifications in Windows during certain times on Windows 11:
- Right-click on Start and select Settings.
- In Settings, click on System.
- In System Settings, click on "Focus assist".
- In "Focus assist", to set the current state of focus assist,
Select Off to receive all notifications, or
Select "Priority only" to see only notifications from a list you can customize to your liking, or
Select "Alarms Only" to hide everything except alarms. - Under "Automatic rules", you can determine the conditions that cause focus assist to activate automatically. Select the item to turn that condition on or off and to determine the time and/or level of focus assist that condition activates, or just select the switch as a shortcut to turning a condition on or off. (To completely deactivate focus assist, turn all of these off.)
- Select "Show me a summary of what I missed while focus assist was on" to be sent a notification when you exit from focus assist about what was redirected to Action Center. Deselect this to deactivate this notification.
- When focus assist turns on automatically, by default a notification appears in the action centre explaining that focus assist is on and suppressing notifications. If you would prefer not to see this message, click the Change focus assist button in the notification, and uncheck the Show notification in the action centre when focus assist is turned on automatically in the Settings page that launches.
