Managing Windows 11 Notifications with Intune

Clayton Greenwell 16

My company is trying to disable notifications from Cisco AnyConnect in Windows 11, and we'd like to use Intune to accomplish this. We haven't been successful so far. Any help is welcome!

Are you ok with turning off notifications all together? I'm not aware of a registry/script that can remove notifications for a single app.

No, that would make it a lot easier though. That would be just a matter of hitting the switch in the config profile and saving it. We want other notifications to come through still, like from Outlook and Teams for example.

@Clayton Greenwell Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

For this issue, there is no built-in setting can make it via intune. Maybe you can make it via script.

Please note that Cisco AnyConnect is a third-party product. It is suggested to contact Cisco support to find if there is such script can disable its notifications. Here is the support link:

Thanks for your understanding.

I found the solution. The best thing to do in this scenario is to use a tool to take a snapshot of the registry. In this case, I used Regshot from SourceForge. Turn notifications off for the third-party application, take another snapshot, and compare the two. The tool will compare the two for you and export the changes found to a txt file. This will allow you to find the key that needs to be modified. You can then create a 32-bit app in Intune that runs a script that changes that value.

What would be an alternative to Regshot?

This is citrix specific configuration. Probably controllable through a registry which can be pushed down using a PS from Intune.

Edit- Correction *Cisco any connect

Is there some way to set a registry key under Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Notifications\Settings for Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client? I'm unfamiliar with Citrix. I just need to be directed in the right direction for the setup. Thank you!
