Hi Douglas,
Does this mean, when we no longer wish to use the "Do Not Disturb" mode, we need to go back and turn on the notifications for each app all over again? What is the purpose of the Do Not DIsturb mode then?
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
I recently set a Do Not Disturb schedule to come on in the evening when I'm sleeping.
However, it appears that notifications are still coming in even when that schedule is supposed to be on. Specifically, several notficiations from the Mail app came through early this morning, waking me up.
How do I fix it so that no notifications come in when scheduled Do Not Disturb is enabled?

I also have this problem.
I have telegram installed and I'm trying to stop notifications from it with Do Not Disturb (via focus mode).
Telegram notifications are still coming in! I just received a call on Facebook...
In "set priority notifications" I only have 2 programs and telegram and Facebook are not one of them.
Is this a bug?
Is do not disturb broken?
The problem is it just doesn't work, at all, in Windows. I have DND turned on and Notifications Off. So it's not an option to disable any individual app notifications. I've recently started meditating through my PC headphones so I will tell you whatever is open will play a sound in spite of this. It's really awkward so I know I just have to close the app to keep it quiet. Hopefully they'll make the jump to Android soon and get over this sillyness.
Same problem, but for me it's Firefox -- which is incredibly annoying when I am streaming something full screen *in Firefox itself* and getting sound notifications over the top of it. DND is set to block notifications while apps are full screen, but it simply does not work.
I am assuming the useless replies on threads like this explaining how to turn things off that are already turned off and broken are AI-generated and Microsoft can't be bothered with even acknowleding the problem.
It was working flawlessly for me till one or two system updates ago. The ability Microsoft has to progressively destroy their OS introducing more and more bugs that weren't there never ceases to amaze me.
