The Windows 11 operating system comes with several new features in almost every aspect to make the user’s experience better. Among other features, the company has also added a notification feature whenever there’s something that requires the user’s attention.
The operating system has two types of notifications — System and Apps & Services. System notifications include system updates, security-related alerts, and hardware problems, among others. On the other hand, the Apps and Services notifications are related to the apps installed on the device.
Whenever there’s a notification related to apps and services that requires the user to take some type of action, then it will blink red animation on the taskbar. This feature can be enabled or disabled through Settings, based on the user’s requirements.
In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to quickly and easily enable or disable the Flash on Taskbar apps feature on Windows 11 operating system devices through System Settings.
