Windows<\/b> notifications are designed to inform the user about any changes that are brought about in the computer as soon as they take place. These notifications<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

are very helpful indeed, but on the other hand they also serve to distract the user from the very pressing engagement they turned on their computer for! Here are a few methods that can help the user evade these notifications.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hide All Pop-Ups Temporarily<\/h2>\n

Simply hide all notifications with a single click by selecting the Clear All<\/b> option in the top-right corner of the Notification Centre<\/b>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Disable Notifications Permanently<\/h2>\n

You can use the Settings<\/b> area to good effect to permanently disable notifications from all such apps that prove to be extremely disturbing with their notifications. You can turn on these notifications at a later stage if you change your mind. Here is how to do so:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Click Start<\/b> | Settings<\/b> | System<\/b>.<\/li>\n
  2. Click the Notifications & Actions<\/b> tab.<\/li>\n
  3. Now scroll down and locate the app for which you intend to disable the notifications under the Show notifications from these apps heading<\/b>.<\/li>\n
  4. Move the corresponding slider to the left (Off).<\/li>\n
  5. Exit the window.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Remove Malicious Programs \/ Apps<\/h2>\n

    You might have somehow ended up installing a rogue program \/ app on your computer that is constantly throwing up advertising pop-ups of many kinds and this event has simply driven you to the boiling point in no time. What you should do in such a scenario is to review all apps which you installed around the time when such pop-ups started to appear. Next, you should also scan your computer for viruses as well as spyware softwares by suing reputable programs.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Click Start<\/b> | Settings<\/b>.<\/li>\n
    2. Now click the System<\/b> icon.<\/li>\n
    3. Click Apps and Features<\/b>.<\/li>\n
    4. You\u2019ll be provided with the list of all the apps installed in the computer. Arrange them in the datewise manner by selecting Sort by install date<\/b> from the dropdown menu.<\/li>\n
    5. Now you can easily identify and remove all programs that have come from untrusted \/ unknown publishers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Block Pop-Ups in the Browser<\/h2>\n

      Here is how you can very easily block pop-ups within the browser while you\u2019re on the internet.<\/p>\n

      Microsoft Edge:<\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. Click the More Actions<\/b> (three dots in succession) icon.<\/li>\n
      2. Select Settings<\/b> | View advanced settings<\/b>.<\/li>\n
