Windows 10: Suppressing notification banners while computer is asleep?

My personal laptop and my work laptop both run on Windows 10. However, when my personal laptop is asleep, notification banners are somehow suppressed, such that when I wake it from sleep they don't ever appear they just stay in the notification center. This is the behavior I desire.


My work laptop when awoken from sleep, every single notification that happened while asleep will show a banner, one by one. It is somewhat annoying and I would like it to behave the way my personal computer does, but I cannot figure out the setting that controls this.

Hi Ian,

We can try to modify the settings of Mail app on your computer and check if your concern still persists. Follow the steps below on how-to:

• Click the Start button and select the Settings
  icon.
• Choose System from the list.
• Select Notifications & actions in the left pane of the window.
• Under Get notifications from these senders, click Mail.
• Toggle the switch of Show notification banners to Off.

Keep us in the loop with the result.

Mail sounds required, but not notification banners

Where do these settings come from? I don't have the same. 2 possible locations. Within "system", then "notifications and actions". But the options there are:

--------------------------------------------------------------

"get notifications from apps and other senders"

"show notifications on the lock screen"

"show reminders and incoming VoIP calls on the lock screen"

"hide notifications when I'm duplicating my screen"

"show me the windows welcome experience after updates and occasionally when I sign in to highlight what's new and suggested"

Then below that there is:

Autoplay

Banners, sounds

Cortana

Banners, sounds

Mail

Banners, sounds

Security and maintenance

Banners, sounds

Settings

Banners, sounds

xbox

off

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Mail notification settings there is:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Apply to all accounts checkbox (it's checked).

Below that there is:

Show notifications in the action centre.

Then

Show a notification banner

Play a sound

Show notifications for folders pinned to start.

---------------------------------------------------------

So it seems to me that what I want is for the "show a notification banner" to be *unchecked*, and "play a sound" to be *checked*.

However, if the "show a notification banner" is unchecked, then "play a sound" is greyed out. In other words it doesn't appear to be the case that I can have an email sound alert without getting popups/banners obscuring my screen.
