    When a notification arrives in an application that we open on the Taskbar in Windows 11, for example, Microsoft Teams, or WhatsApp, the application icon on the Taskbar will flash to let us know that there is a new notification that we are getting. This feature is actually good because it allows us to know that there are incoming notifications. However, sometimes this feature is also annoying, because when we work and look at the taskbar, the flashing icon seems tempting for us to click, even though it’s not an application related to our own work. Hence, in this guide, I will teach you how to turn off or on the flashing apps in Taskbar on Windows 11.

    • Finally, untick the option of “Show flash on taskbar apps” to turn off the feature.
    • That’s it, in this way you can disable the flashing apps in Taskbar on Windows 11. To enable it, just tick mark or check mark the same option of “Show flash on taskbar apps”.

    In addition, you can also try to change how many times Taskbar apps flash. To do that, follow the steps given below.

    • Click on the Search bar and type “Regedit” without the quotes and press Enter key.
    • Go to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop.
