Windows 11 has two types of notifications, including those from apps and services and system notifications. Although notifications are convenient as they let you know when you have a new unread message or something that requires your attention, they can also be overwhelming and distracting, such as when an app requires your attention and the icon starts flashing red in the Taskbar.
Notifications in Windows 11/10 are present to draw your attention to programs or areas that require your immediate attention. While this helps in resolving issues quickly it can annoy some.
