Notifications are an essential part of the modern Windows experience, and Microsoft keeps refining all of them with more and more improvements.

This time, the organization is finding out how notifications are delivered to Windows 11 users, using the latest preview build shipped to insiders within the Dev channel bringing a new way to show high-priority notifications.

More specifically, Microsoft says 3 high-priority notifications will now be shown as stacked on Windows 11 devices for an approach that makes more sense, especially because they include information that users must absolutely be familiar with.

"For apps that send notifications for calls, reminders, or alarms that leverage Windows notifications in the OS, 3 high priority notifications will now be shown as stacked and shown simultaneously. What this means is at any time, you might see up to 4 notifications simultaneously - 3 high priority notifications and something normal priority notification," the company explains.

Phased rollout in the Insider program

Microsoft has just started the rollout of this feature in the Windows Insider program, also it explains that not everyone is setting it up right now.

Not even if they're area of the Dev channel, that's, as Microsoft wants to collect more feedback before it commits to broad availability within the Windows Insider program. In other words, even when you're part of the Windows Insider program and running Windows 11 build 22509, there's an opportunity you're not receiving the stacked notifications since the feature continues to be in the limited testing phase.

"We are beginning to roll this transformation out, so it isn't open to all Insiders at this time as we intend to monitor feedback and find out the way it lands before pushing it out to everyone," Microsoft explains.

Obviously, there's absolutely no timing information regarding when the new notification improvements could go live for production devices.
