You touched on the issue.. Nice job. However, what we are looking for is a way to turn the whole DND OPTION off. I currently have it turned off in Settings, but yet, it's active when I get home from work. HOW DO I ELIMINATE IT FROM MY SYSTEM??? It's a garbage feature that should not exist, and most games do on their own anyways...

Is there a Group Policy I can use for my company network to do this. Since Windows 11, people miss notifications all the time at work..

You were right, with the other options after the Disable Notification area. That fixed my issue. Now, I wanna know the GP to change for everyone else on the network..

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.

That setting is turned off. I am not part of an Domain, or Azure Domain. But ever day when I come back to my computer, that would normally have sent me notifications, didn't because DND had somehow enabled itself again. I look at the settings, and they are still disabled. How do I friggn KILL THIS ****!!!???!!!???

Just disable "Turn on do not disturb" in System ->Focus. It worked for me.

I found that if you minimize the Notifications window rather than closing it then donotdisturb stays off even if you reboot, and the notifications window stays on the taskbar after the reboot as well.
