Judging from references in Windows 11 preview builds, Microsoft is working on a new feature called “Smart opt-out” that will reduce unwanted alerts in the system.

Fortunately, you can reduce the volume with the help of volume normalization. On a Windows 11 PC, this feature is called Volume Equalization.

Using Windows built-in options and third-party programs, you can set volume levels on an app-by-app basis.

Windows 11's Smart Opt-Out offers a solution to unwanted notifications, while urgent notification upgrades provide more control to users.
