If you have used the older builds of Windows 11, you might know about the Focus Assist, a feature that blocks distracting notifications. Focus assist is also seen on older versions of Windows, but Windows 11 added some new options to the feature.

We are talking about Focus Assist because with Windows 11 22H2, Microsoft changed the name of the Focus Assist feature. The Focus Assist is now called ‘Do Not Disturb’ and offers the same benefits.
