How to Use Focus Assist on Windows 10 to Silence Notifications

The Focus Assist do not disturb feature helps to block notifications to create less distractions. While receiving notifications on your computer can be useful, there may times when you’re working on a project for work or school, browsing a website, playing a game or any other instance where these notifications can be quite annoying… Windows 10 has a feature called “Focus Assist”, formerly known as Quiet Hours that can help you to avoid those unwanted interruptions. I’ll show you the steps needed to enable and configure Focus Assist to give you more control.

I've always just turned notifications sound off because the banners don't bother me too much but now I'll be using Focus Assist too. Thanks for another great video! 👌

I LOVE Focus Assist and use it all the time, but what REALLY annoys me is the notification telling me that Focus Assist is turned on! I know its on! because i turned it on!

I hope you're having a great day. Love a little more hate a little less PEACE

To me this feature is annoying. It always interrupts me lately when I'm trying to play the Sims and it just shuts my entire game down. I appreciate you making this video and letting others know how to deal with this. It annoys the hell out of me and I really don't like it.
