    Hi, A7maD HameD

    Welcome to the MicroSoft Community.

    The notification "Do you want to allow this website to open an app on your computer?" is a security measure to prevent websites from running apps on your computer without your knowledge. However, if you still want to disable it, here are the steps for different browsers:

    Microsoft Edge:
    
    • Click on the three dots (...) in the upper right corner.
    • Click on "Settings".
    • Click on "Cookies and site permissions" on the left-hand side menu.
    • Under 'All permissions', scroll down until you see "Notifications".
    • Click on it.
    • Where it says "Quiet notification requests", click the slider to the ON position. Please note that these steps might not work if the notification is being triggered by an internal program. Internet Explorer: Unfortunately, you can't turn off this notification in Internet Explorer as it is a security measure1. Support for IE will end later this year and it is recommended that you switch to a modern browser. Please remember that disabling such notifications might put your computer at risk as it allows websites to run apps on your computer without your knowledge. Always ensure that you trust the website before allowing it to open an app on your computer. If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.

    Best Regards
