How to Cancel or Delete Alarms in the Windows Clock App
If you no longer request the alarm you set earlier in the Windows Clock app, you have the option to cancel or delete it. Here’s how you can go about it.
Step 1: In the Clock app, switch to the Alarms tab and locate your alarm.
Step 2: Turn off the switch next to your alarm to cancel it.
If you want to delete an alarm, right-click it and select Delete.
The Clock app also allows you to delete multiple alarms at once. To do so, tap the pencil icon in the bottom right corner.
Click the trash can icon in the top right corner of the alarm to delete them. Then, tap the right check mark in the bottom right corner to save the changes.
How to snooze or dismiss an alarm in Windows 11
When an alarm goes off in Windows, you’ll see a notification banner in the bottom right corner of the Windows desktop, with the alarm sound set. From there, you can choose to snooze or dismiss your alarm. You can use the drop-down menu to change the snooze time.
If you don’t receive notifications or don’t hear your alarm sound, it’s possible that the Clock app doesn’t have the necessary permissions to show notifications in Windows. To enable them, use these steps:
Step 1: Click the search icon on the taskbar, type notifications & actions in the text box and press Enter.
Step 2: Scroll down to ‘Notifications from other apps and senders’, click on the Watch app.
Step 3: Enable the toggle in Notifications. Make sure that Clock app notifications are allowed to play sounds.
It’s important to note that your alarm will only sound when your PC is active. So if your PC goes to sleep, you won’t hear any sound when the alarm goes off.
Accept it and forget it
While your Windows 11 computer may not be the best option for setting a morning alarm, it is useful to set an alarm for your midday break or nap. In addition to alarms, the Clock app in Windows 11 has many other useful features. You can use it as a stopwatch to create focused sessions and for many other purposes.
