How To Disable App Notifications In Windows 10

Windows 10 :How to disable notifications pop-up of applications on your lock screen.

By default, Windows 10 apps (even desktop programs like Outlook) can interrupt you with notifications. Here's how to take control of those pop-ups and sounds so they don't become a distraction.

This tutorial will show you how to disable app notifications on Windows 10, specifically if you want to disable notifications from certain programs, or from all applications in general.

One of the signature features of Windows 10 is the way it handles systemwide notifications, allowing any app (including desktop programs like Outlook 2016 and Adobe's Creative Cloud) to display messages. The more apps you use, the more chaotic those notifications can get.

To turn off all notifications from apps, move the Show app notifications slider to the Off position.

To choose which apps are allowed to interrupt you, scroll down to the section headed Show Notifications from these apps. Move the slider for an individual app to the Off position to silence all notifications from that app.

For more fine-grained control over how an individual app can display notifications, click the app's entry in the Notifications list. That gives you five options.

The top entry on the list, Notifications, lets you disable all notifications, graying out all the other options.
For control over pop-up messages and sounds, use the Show notification banners and Play a sound when a notification arrives options.

If you don't want the notification panel (formally known as Action Center) to be cluttered up with old notifications from an app, slide Show in action center to the Off position.

Finally, use the Keep notifications private on the lock screen to hide calendar entries and alarms from displaying when you've stepped away from your desk and locked the screen.
