This tutorial will show you how to set an alarm with the Clock app for your account in Windows 11.
The Clock app in Windows 11 includes an alarm feature you can set to play a sound with a notification at a repeatable day and time. You can also snooze the alarm if wanted.
When you have an alarm set and turned on in the Clock app, you will see an alarm badge on the Clock taskbar icon by default.
A set alarm will automatically turn off after its set time unless it's a repeatable alarm.
