In Windows operating systems, the display of notifications is implemented in different ways. And if in Windows 7 messages appear in the lower right corner and are accompanied by a slight second sound, and sometimes not even that, then in Windows 10 notifications can scare, wake up and just annoy. Their sound is so loud that sometimes it just interferes with normal operation. And in Windows 10, as you know, notifications appear very often. And if you are afraid to miss something important, then notifications do not have to be turned off, it is enough to deactivate their sound.
Disabling notification sounds through the Windows 10 Control Panel
Notifications are related to system sounds. Therefore, they can be disabled through the Control Panel. To do this, just follow these steps:
- Right-click on the Start icon and select Control Panel.
- A new window will open. Set the view mode to Large or Small Icons. We are looking for the "Sound" section in the list.
- We open this section. A new window will appear. Go to the "Sounds" tab and in the "Program events" item we find "Notifications". We expose for this parameter the absence of sounds.
- After saving the apology, notifications will appear without sound.
IMPORTANT! System notifications will be disabled. Program messages will continue to appear. Their disabling must be set in the settings of the software itself.
Turn off notification sounds through the Settings section
Via this method you can remove notifications for individual desktop programs and applications from Windows Store. To do this, do the following:
- Click "Start", "Settings". Select the "System" section.
- Select "Notifications and actions" from the menu on the left.
- Scroll the slider down to the list of programs for which notifications are allowed. Pay attention to the light letters under each software. If you click on them, a settings window will open in which you can turn off sound notifications.
If you want to prevent sounds from playing for most applications and services, you should turn off the sound for the "Security and Service Center".

Hello.
Over time, a fairly large number of various applications and games accumulate on a smartphone (and device manufacturers often try - even when purchasing a new phone, a good dozen games are already loaded into it!).
And everything would be fine, but some of them begin to actively flood the notification area with all sorts of offers (this happens especially often with various free games).
As a result, this "nonsense" often has to be distracted from other more important matters, work. And in general, there are no other really useful messages behind them, and all this starts to get very annoying.
In general, in this short note I will give several ways how you can limit the appetites of annoying applications and prohibit them from sending advertising notifications.

To do this, just open the Android settings section. "Apps and Notifications/Apps" .
I note that even if you have not installed any games, there can be quite a lot of them (for example, they can be pre-installed by the device manufacturer). And, of course, all of them can (and will) send notifications...
