Focus assist (also called quiet hours in earlier versions of Windows 10) allows you to avoid distracting notifications when you need to stay focused. It's set by default to activate automatically when you're duplicating your display, playing a game, or using an app in full screen mode.

Normally you can find the Focus Assist GPO at: User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar > Notifications >"Turn off Focus assist" - Enable it to Turn it Off. Other way would be to propagate a Registry change through GPO to the affected computers.

Focus assist allows the user to define a period of time each day during which notifications are suppressed and go directly to Action center. Users can configure this Focus assist setting via Settings > System > Focus assist > Automatic rules > During these times.

If I try to open the Focus Assist settings, it crashes the settings and force-closes. Opening the settings without going into the focus assist section works fine. Restarting my laptop fixes the issue temporarily, where I can open the focus assist settings again for a short time.

Windows offers many ways to minimize distractions so it's easier to focus on tasks. You can declutter your taskbar and simplify the Start menu, use Focus assist to manage your notifications, and use the Immersive Reader to minimize visual distractions when reading a web page in Microsoft Edge.

Focus Assist replaces the “Quiet Hours” feature included with previous versions of Windows 10, and is much more powerful and configurable. “Focus Assist” feature is a “Do Not Disturb” mode that hides notifications

I've noticed the Focus Assist feature for a couple of weeks now and I've always wondered why it keeps enabling itself. It makes me miss potentially important notifications. It looks like Focus Assist enables itself whenever my Thunderbolt 3 docking station with two external monitors gets connected.

I recently purchased MSI Modern 14 and it is operating on Windows 10 and every time I start my laptop, I see that focus assist is turned on by itself. I have tried restarting it several times but that is not helping me out with the problem. Is there a way to fix it? Thanks.

To set up Focus Assist in Windows 10, go to Settings> System> Focus Helper. You have three options here. Outside: This will disable all notifications from your apps and contacts. Priority only: See notifications for the apps you choose. Alarms only. Hide all notifications except alarms.
