    How to kill "Your notifications will remain quiet" notification?


    I know Microsoft is an irony in itself. Since I've been forced to upgrade to whatever-the-f-it's-now version of Windows 10, I've been annoyed daily by this thing that displays 1 by the clock:



    and if I click on it, it shows this:



    That reads:

    Your notifications will remain quiet here in Action Center while you're in full screen mode.
    so instead I'll annoy the sh*t out of you.
    (The latter is my liberty.)

    So if I click "Turn Off now" it shows some other confusing window and goes away. But then the next day this thing comes back.

    Can someone explain how can I kill it FOR GOOD?

    PS1. Note that I do not run anything in full screen mode. I have multiple monitors and one has VMWare Workstation window extended to that entire screen.
    PS2. I liked notifications in earlier version of Windows. So I don't want to disable them. I just don't want to see whatever-that-is.

    You can adjust rules for Focus assist:

    Check how to manage full screen mode

    Depends on what you want. I'm not sure from your post

    The solution suggested by AndreTen does not work on my computer.

    Unchecking the checkbox does not have any effect:
    the notification "Your notification will remain quiet here..." keeps showing up.

    Using Windows 10 version 1903.

    Hi,

    Go to Settings / System / Focus assist and under "Automatic rules" turn OFF :
    "When I'm duplicating my display" and "When I'm using an app in full screen mode" :

    That's saved me.

    Thanks. I pretty much unchecked all of it and that annoyance had stopped. I also try to run "O&O ShutUp10" to uncheck everything in it as well. (But then after the next major update Microsoft puts all of those check marks back, plus some.)

    I am just wondering, who at Microsoft thinks that adding these things and calling them "focus assist" is a good idea? (Just a definition of irony.) Do they have someone out there (who they don't pay salary to) who can rationally look at all these and beat some sense into them? Or Windows 10 is pretty much turning now into a big ad/marketing machine? (Mind you, we still have to pay for it. So it's not your Google or Android OS.)

    ..like everything in our world... BUT always, there must be some ways to...resist

    Glad it works! You're welcome!
