Windows 11 Do Not Distrub constantly turns itself on

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?

    I'm suspecting that Windows simply doesn't reliably detects full screen applications (which is one of the options that can trigger "Do Not Disturb"). An indication for that is that, when I turn on the FPS counter in apps like Nividia Geforce Experience, the FPS counter (which should only appear in full screen applications) also often appears in windowed applications.

    Thanks so much, I didn't know those options were there I did disable:

    1. When duplicating your display.
    2. When playing a game.
    3. When using an app in full-screen mode.
    4. for the first hour after a Windows feature update

    Duh, if notifications is off completely, the DnD has no relation to that section. Of course it would show, if it would, than Windows is really broken
