Windows 11 Do Not Distrub constantly turns itself on

Anonymous

I have turned it off in Windows setting multiple times but it keeps turning back on. I do not want it on and I have never wanted it on. I did not know it was even a possibility to turn it on until it started doing it on its own.

How do I turn it off and leave it turned off for good?

    Hi Cortanna1982,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Open the Settings App, then go to System - Notifications.

    below where you turn off 'Do Not Disturb' there is another setting, expand that, in there are a few options to automatically enable that setting, ensure they are all disabled.

    You can turn off "Do not disturb" in Systems>Notifications till the cows come home. Once you restart your system the damn thing is "On" again. HOW DO YOU SHUT THE DO NOT DISTURB OFF FOR GOOD?

    I've done this a million times and it never stays off.

    DND turns itself on all the time for no reason and I'm constantly missing important work pings.

    This is ridiculous

    On my freshly-installed Win11 22H2, I noticed the Do Not Disturb was automatically activated.

    I clicked on the clock/time, which brought up the notifications popup.

    In the top, right corner I noticed a bell icon with a blue background.

    I clicked the bell icon, which changed it to a white background, and DnD has remained off since, even after restarting.
