How do you turn off or customize Notifications on a Mac?

To turn off or customize Notifications on a Mac, the correct process involves accessing the Notifications preferences directly from the Notification Center. This allows users to adjust settings related to how and when they receive notifications from various applications, including silencing notifications, adjusting their appearance, and setting Do Not Disturb modes.

When you click on the Notifications preferences icon within the bottom-right corner of the Notification Center, you are taken directly to the settings for managing notifications on your Mac, making it an intuitive way to customize your experience.

Other options do not provide the correct means of accessing Notification settings. For example, accessing the Spotlight Preferences pane does not relate to notification management, bringing all windows to the front does not affect notification settings, and uninstalling the Notification Center app is not only impossible, but it also removes the entire functionality for managing alerts and notifications system-wide, which is not the intended use or recommended action for users seeking customization.
