Windows needs granular control for specific notifications, not just category-wide toggles for USB-C.

I have been a Windows user for most of my life, and as the hardware industry aggressively shifts toward USB-C, the Windows notification system is severely falling behind.

There is a major flaw in how Windows handles USB-C notifications: it forces users to either endure constant spam for things they are already aware of or disable an entire category of notifications just to stop one annoying pop-up.

Here are the two major problems I am facing with USB-C on both Windows 10 and Windows 11:

 The "Slow Charger" Spam (Despite High Wattage). My laptop supports both traditional barrel jack and USB-C PD charging. When I use a high-quality USB-C charger and cable that matches or even exceeds the wattage of the original charger, Windows constantly floods me with a "Slow charger" warning (see attached screenshot).

To be clear, the manufacturer of my high-performance laptop embedded a power profile that automatically switches the system to lower performance when it detects charging over USB-C. I am fully aware of this hardware-level behavior and am not doing heavy tasks.

Because the system is already limiting its power draw by design, there is no actual lack of wattage coming from my charger. Yet, Windows continuously spams the warning anyway.

The biggest bug: Windows actually has a specific setting to turn off the "slow charging over USB-C" notification. However, even when this is toggled off, Windows ignores the setting and keeps spamming the notification anyway. All my drivers are fully up to date.

 The False "DisplayPort Limitation" Warning. I use a monitor that supports DisplayPort over USB-C and has an integrated USB hub. I am only using the USB-C cable for the USB hub functionality (data). My actual video signal is routed through a traditional DisplayPort cable directly from my graphics card.

Every time my monitor wakes up from sleep, Windows throws a warning about a "USB-C DisplayPort limitation."

I am fully aware of how my hardware is routed. I know I am not using the USB-C for video, but Windows won't let me dismiss this specific warning permanently.

The Unacceptable Support Experience I reached out to Microsoft Support via live chat. The agent did not seem to understand what these specific warnings meant or what their purpose was.

Their official "solution" was to go into Windows settings and completely disable all notifications for the entire "Energy" or "USB" categories. They basically told me to hide it and called it a day.

What is the point of having a notification system if the only way to fix a bugged alert is to blind the system entirely? If I disable the whole USB category, I might miss an actual critical warning later. Microsoft introduced these USB connection and charging alerts back in Windows 10, but the system is clearly incomplete and remains broken in Windows 11.

Microsoft needs to fix the broken "disable" toggles for these alerts and give users granular control over specific notifications, rather than forcing us to use a sledgehammer to turn off the whole category.
