Turning off notifications (desktop notifications) on Windows

Websites can ask whether they may show desktop notifications. These notifications can sometimes be useful, but they are mostly advertising and news notifications. If the student clicks Yes when asked, they can expect small pop-ups at the bottom right of the screen from then on. These pop-ups do not appear in the browser but on top of everything else. They are often messages about games, crypto or fake news (clickbait) that link to distracting websites. Once "Yes" has been clicked, it is hard to turn them off again.

With our PowerShell script generator you can turn those notifications off in no time

All done.
