Windows 11 Do Not Distrub constantly turns itself on

Anonymous

I have turned it off in Windows setting multiple times but it keeps turning back on. I do not want it on and I have never wanted it on. I did not know it was even a possibility to turn it on until it started doing it on its own.

How do I turn it off and leave it turned off for good?

    Hi everybody,

    I managed to resolve this issue using this command from administartive prompt

    reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\QuietHours" /v "Enabled" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

    i then disabled the do not disturb mode, rebooted the pc and then the do not disturb mode wasn't active.

    If you wanna revert the change just change the value from 0 to 1.

    Hope this help.

    IT KEEPS TURNING ITSELF BACK ON. HOW CAN MS DEVELOPERS BE THIS PATHETICALLY INCOMPETENT. STOP ADDING FEATURES THAT NOBODY WANTS OR USES AND JUST MAKE THE OS AND SOFTWARE YOU DEVELOP STABLE AND FAST! I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE WINDOWS 11. I HATE IT.

    I had the DND issue start happening today and traced it in my case as being caused by the NVIDIA overlay. So for me it's either disable the NVIDIA overlay or toggle off "When using an app in full-screen mode..."
