Hi Deborah Jones Huntley,
Thanks for your post. Based on my research, you can follow the steps to turn off the Focus assist.
- Locate to the Settings->System>Focus Assist. In this function, you can choose which notification you’d like to see and hear so you can stay focused. The rest will go straight to action where you can see them any time.
- If you don’t want any focus, just select “Off”.
Best Regards,
Ian Xue
