Focus Assist (also called Quiet Hours in earlier versions of Windows 10) allows users to avoid notifications/alerts and sounds when they need to stay focused. It’s set by default to activate automatically when users are sharing their screen, playing a game, or using an app in full screen mode. Users can control it by choosing what notifications to hide or block. The feature is also available in Windows 11. Here’s how users can set it up and control it to take most out of it.

You can set that list up by selecting the ‘Customize priority list’ link below. ‘Alarms only’ which show no notifications, except for any alarms you may have set up.
