Customise quiet hours with Windows 8.1

 Mar 19, 2015

Do you ever wish you could turn off your Windows and Office notifications for a little while, just so you could get some work done without interruptions? Perhaps you are working to a deadline and you want to put a virtual “Out of Office” sign on your door?

What’s new in Windows 8.1 is the option to turn the notifications off or set a period of time for which the notifications may appear.

To do this:

  1. Go to "Change PC" settings.
  2. Click on "Search and Apps."
  3. Select "Notifications."
  4. Configure the relevant options.
