Windows 11 keeps popping up notifications, how to turn them off?

My Windows 11 keeps popping up all kinds of notifications, some are ads and some are system reminders. It’s really annoying. Is there a simple way to turn off most of them?

    There is a very simple way to turn off most notifications and ads in Windows 11. You can either shut everything off with one toggle or selectively disable only the annoying parts while keeping important alerts.

    You're definitely not alone in finding this annoying. Windows 11 has a lot of built-in "suggestions" and notifications that many users find to be nothing more than ads.
