Hi,
In the past few weeks I noticed that I was missing many notifications. At first I thought it was the "Do not Disturb" (DnD) mode. However I disabled every single option in the notifications preferences for DnD but it keeps enabling itself randomly. I use 2 external monitor.
How can I disable DnD once and for all ? This is really annoying. Thanks
Try holding the option key, then click on the Notification Center icon.
Um no. Hold the option key when you click on the icon. It should toggle the icon from greyed to normal. At least it does here.
Not sure to understand what you mean then. Yes, I can toggle the do not disturb switch in the notification center but it should not be enabled in the first place. There are no preference set to enable it, so it should not be enabled.
Did you read this part of the page?
Temporarily turn on Do Not Disturb
On your Mac, do one of the following:
, swipe down, then click the Do Not Disturb button. in the menu bar.The icon is dimmed to show Do Not Disturb is on. It stays on until midnight or until you turn it off, or until it’s scheduled to turn off (as specified in Notifications preferences).
I do not want to temporarily turn on or turn off Do not disturb. I want to disable it permanently, forever. I unchecked everything in notification preferences for do not disturb. Why is it still enabled ? I want to turn it off once and never have to do it again.
I tried to boot in safe mode and it's still the same. All preferences are "off" but DnD is enabled. I know it's very very minor issue, but if I configure it to be disabled it's supposed to be disabled.
The feature is for those that do want to turn it on temporarily, regardless of the "Do Not Disturb" preference settings. If you don't want to use the feature, don't.
You did say you could toggle the setting. If that's not the case, you might want to contact Apple Support. It works as it should on all my Macs running Catalina.
I gave it a try and it shows notifications. That good to know, but I want to disable Do Not Disturb permanently. Based on what is configured in the preferences it should not be enabled.
Thanks. I started a chat with the support on this matter.
Welcome.
How to permanently disable Do not disturb mode ?
