This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable allow sidebar apps to show notifications in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

The Microsoft Edge web browser is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows, and macOS. With speed, performance, best in class compatibility for websites and extensions, and built-in privacy and security features.

The sidebar in Microsoft Edge lets you access tools and features side-by-side within your browser, even as you navigate between tabs. From being able to search specifically within the page you’re viewing, to using tools to do quick math without opening another tab, Microsoft found a way to help you be more productive without losing your place as you browse.

The sidebar appears on the right side of Microsoft Edge, and includes apps like Action Center, Search, Tools, Games, and Microsoft 365, Outlook, Image Creator, and Drop by default you can add and remove.

You can turn on or off to allow sidebar apps to show notifications.



Here's How:

1 Open Microsoft Edge.

2 Click/tap on the Setting and more (Alt+F) 3 dots button, and click/tap on Settings. (see screenshot below)
