Desktop alerts straddle the area between useful and annoying. It’s useful at times you’re waiting for an important email, or in situations where your inbox isn’t constantly being bombarded with new messages. For those who get a lot of email, it’s undoubtedly a detriment to productivity. That said, there’s still a time and a place for notifications, so long as you can tune them out, or effectively manage them.

In this tutorial, we will describe how to enable and disable desktop notifications for Gmail in Windows 11/10. Gmail a.k.a., Google Mail is a free email service from Google. Today, it is among the most widely used email services.

We receive many emails in our inbox daily. Some emails require immediate action from the user. For example, when Google notices any suspicious activity on our account, we receive a security alert email. In such a case, we have to take immediate action to protect our account. Because we are busy doing our job, it is difficult to check Gmail for new messages. That’s why Google has added a facility to enable desktop notifications for Gmail.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Alienware, Razer, MSI, Huawei , Microsoft Surface, and Samsung.

Hi mate. I really wish you can read this. I'm stuck with my dell Inspiron 17 5000 series (5767) which can't read or boot from SSD. Can you refer me to any relevant video of yours. Not long ago you solved me a big problem where all others failed (Installing windows on gpt disk) and hope to save me this time too.
Apologies for the irrelevant comment.
