Hi all,

 

We had the same issue while testing Windows 11 and I thought I'd post our solution in case anyone else comes across this thread on Google.

 

We had a policy deployed via Intune to hide certain pages from the Settings app (e.g., Xbox settings etc.) which worked fine in Windows 10, but since things were rearranged in Windows 11 it turns out that the "Notifications" section was being inadvertently blocked. The specific change we had to make was to remove "quietmomentsgame" from our list of hidden settings pages. This is supposedly related to "Playing a game full screen" according to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/launch-resume/launch-settings-app#gaming.

 

As I say we had to change our Intune policy, but in other environments this might also be configured via Group Policy or in the registry.

  • https://admx.help/?Category=Windows_10_2016&Policy=Microsoft.Policies.ControlPanel::SettingsPageVisibility
  • Registry
    • Key: 
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
    • Value name: 
      SettingsPageVisibility

 

Hope this helps!
