This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off Notification Suggestions for your account in Windows 11.
Notification Suggestions is when Windows detects if you are interacting with toasts or not and provide a suggestion to turn the notification banners (toasts) off for such apps. This will only stop the banners from appearing, and you can still find the toasts in the notification center.
Starting with Windows 11 build 22631.4391 (23H2) and build 26100.2161 (24H2) you can now turn off the suggestions to disable notifications from certain apps.
