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?

    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.

    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?

    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.
