Block Notifications from Edge

If you are getting unwanted pop-ups at the bottom right corner of your computer, (by the date & time), it might be due to some Microsoft Edge notification settings.  Give this a try.

1. Open the Microsoft Edge browser on your computer.  

Tip: Edge icon looks like this: 

2. At the top right, click the 3 dots, just below the X to close the program.

3. Click on Settings.

4. At the top left, in the Search Settings box, type "notifications".

5. Click on Site Settings.

6. There will be several results highlighted, scroll down, nearly to the bottom of the page and find the section with the title All permissions and click on  the highlighted Notifications section.

7. Look at the Allow section and see if there are any entries in the list that appear to match the pop-ups you are receiving - or any entries which "look strange" or for which you don't specifically require notifications.

8. To the right of the website, click the 3 dots, and then click on Block or Remove.

9. Additionally, if you feel you never require notifications, toggle the Ask before sending (recommended) setting off - now you will never get any notifications.

Hopefully that's all you need to get rid of those annoying pop-ups.

How to prevent these notifications from coming up in the first place.

If you don't want these to show up in the first place, be aware of "Show notifications" prompts while browsing the Internet.  If you get these, in most cases either just click on "Block" if you never want this message again from this site, or close the little window with the X.  If you click "Allow" you will get those pop-ups.  Note: Sometimes you will want notifications from sites (such as for email notifications even when not specifically on your webmail site) -  but just beware of what ones you allow.
