Important note for Windows 11 users
If you use Windows 11, turning on Do not disturb (formerly known as Focus Assist in Windows 10) hides updates from the Smokeball Notification Center. We recommend disabling Do not disturb if you are having trouble seeing Smokeball notifications. Learn more about Do not disturb on the Microsoft support page.Ā Ā
