The AI's answer above solves the problem quite radically: if Remove Notifications and Action Center is enabled, the Calendar disappears as well.

Why in the world would I want a notification box pop up that says you have no notifications when I have instructed it I do not want notifications ever bothering me. Then to get rid of it I have to get rid of the calendar. Are these people taking illegal narcotics at work - wait don't answer that, Microsoft is from Seattle.

The Calendar is part of the Notification area.
You have to click the arrow by the time
to open it.

2025-11-23T17:40:35.52+00:00 To completely get rid of the notification box in Windows 11, you can disable the Notification Center. Here’s how you can do it:
- Open the Group Policy Editor (if you have Windows 11 Pro or Enterprise): Press
Windows + R, typegpedit.msc, and hit Enter. - Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar.
- Look for the setting called Remove Notifications and Action Center. Set this to Enabled.
- If you are using Windows 11 Home, you can use the Registry Editor:
- Press
Windows + R, typeregedit, and hit Enter. - Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer. - Right-click in the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it DisableNotificationCenter. Set its value to 1.
- Press
- Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
By following these steps, you should be able to remove the notification box completely.
