This tutorial will show you how to clear notifications from the Notification Center for your account in Windows 11.

Notifications are alerts from apps, system, and other senders to read more or take action.

When you receive a notification from an app or sender, it will show as a notification banner above the taskbar system tray for five seconds by default before automatically dismissed and moved to the Notification Center. You can then view any missed notifications listed by priority in the Notification Center until cleared (deleted).

You can clear all notifications, clear all notifications from a specific app or sender, or clear a specific notification.
