How To Disable Bitdefender Notifications in Windows 11/10

Bitdefender is one of the most popular antivirus software for Windows thanks to its great protection against malware, viruses, and other threats. However, if there is one bad thing about Bitdefender is its annoying notifications about special offers and recommendations. While it’s not as bad as McAfee, it’s still bad enough. Unlike the regular notifications, these appear as big banners blocking huge parts of the screen. What’s worse? You cannot control these notifications via Windows Settings.

Fortunately, you can easily disable promotional notifications within Bitdefender’s settings. This guide shows you how in simple steps. Let’s get started.
