Windows 11 notifications

 

  • Reception of new emails
  • available upgrades
  • open apps
  • Presence of viruses or threats and more

 

 

These alerts are usually visual with floating messages and some emit a sound that can affect our concentration based on what we are doing, Windows 11 in its 22H2 version has integrated a new function called Concentration which is a session that has a certain time and in which the following actions are carried out:
