Here, MiniTool Partition Wizard introduces a tutorial on Windows 11 notifications, including where the notifications on Windows 11 are, and how to manage notifications in Windows 11.
Windows 11 is a new operating system released as the successor to Windows 10 in 2021. Windows 11 is quite different from Windows 10, with a brand new outlook and some new features.
Where Are the Notifications on Windows 11?
You usually get notifications when there are available updates for system/software, a new email, and a newly connected device on Windows 11. And the notifications show up at the bottom right corner of the screen.
Generally, a new notification will disappear automatically in a few seconds. If you want to view old notifications, you can visit the Notifications Center. There are two methods to open Windows 11 Notifications Center:
- Click the Date & Time icon on the right side of the taskbar.
- Press the Windows key along with the N key on your keyboard.
You might have noticed that the Notifications Center only displays the latest notification. If you want to view older ones, you need to click the “+n” option to expand the list and more details.
