Just to be clear, the issue for me is that although I have Focus Assist on already, I still got the notification - the icon in the lower right corner updates and changes causing a visual distraction - when I plug my laptop into my large screen. It is possible to turn this off by disabling the default option to turn on focus assist when the screen is duplicated: Annoying Focus Assist Settings Default to On if Duplicate Screen

Thus, after spending months figuring out how to disable a range of annoying notifications on my computer, I was now getting an annoying notification every day from a tool supposedly intended to help me focus 🙂 Clicking on the lower right corner notification icon displays the full notification from Focus Assist: Full Annoying Notification from Focus Assist Remarkably, Focus Assist by default turns off notifications when the display is duplicated (for example, you plug your laptop into a high definition giant screen at the office every day - just like I do) AND posts its’ own annoying notification to the notifications visible in the lower right corner of Windows 10!!! Annoying Focus Assist Notification (Lower Right Corner)īy default this notification is generated and posted every time a laptop is plugged into a large screen display to duplicate the screen. Microsoft recently (April 2018) added a new feature to Windows 10 known as Focus Assist to block distracting notifications on Windows 10.
