Identify the notification’s source
Read the website identity shown on the alert and note whether it appears outside the webpage or in the notification centre. Microsoft distinguishes website notifications from pop-up windows. This matters because blocking pop-ups does not necessarily remove a notification subscription. Do not follow an alarming alert’s payment or download link merely to discover its source.
Review the site permission
Open Edge settings and follow Privacy, search, and services, Site permissions, All sites in the current documented interface. Select the actual website and inspect Notifications. Choose Block if you no longer want its alerts. Check the domain carefully so a similarly named programme site is not mistaken for the origin that received permission.
Use the current-site route if suitable
Microsoft also documents View site information beside the address bar, followed by that site’s notification choice. You do not need to interact with the unwanted alert itself to manage a known domain. If the site is unfamiliar or untrusted, prefer the saved permission list rather than revisiting it solely to revoke access.
Understand closed-browser behaviour
Microsoft notes that permitted website notifications can appear even when Edge is closed. Closing the last visible window is therefore not a reliable way to revoke the permission. The explicit site permission is the relevant control. Existing notifications in the centre are another state to inspect separately.
Keep the intended scope
After blocking the unwanted site, retain useful permissions for unrelated sites according to your preference. If you want alerts again later, Microsoft documents returning the site choice to Allow. This workflow stops a particular source of website notifications; it does not certify every alert as malicious or alter a programme’s audio and account access.
Questions, answered
Can site notifications appear after Edge is closed?
Microsoft says permitted website notifications can still appear.
Is the pop-up blocker the same control?
No. Microsoft treats notifications and pop-up windows separately.
