However, this scenario is more common with Windows 8 and previous versions. While this can be simply rectified by closing the notification message each time it pops up, a more permanent solution would be to customize notifications not to display at all. For instance, when Windows Defender notifies you about a potential hazard, it will display a small dot on its regular icon which will allow you to know that the app needs your attention.
