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 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.

Reference:

Starting with Windows 11 version 22H2 KB5030310 Build 22621.2361, Notifications will now show as a bell in the system tray and when new notifications come through, the bell will colorize based on your system accent color. When there are no notifications and the clock is visible, the bell will be empty. Notification counts are no longer shown.

Notification bell in the system tray for new notifications and no notifications.
