How to Turn Off Blue Essence Notifications in League of Legends

League of Legends does not have a documented setting that turns off only Blue Essence notifications. What you can do depends on what you mean by “notification”: a small new-content marker in the client, a mission or reward popup, or a Windows desktop banner. Check the League client’s notification settings for options such as collection or new-content pips, but be aware that those controls may hide other markers too. If a mission-completion window announces a Blue Essence reward, Riot’s public help pages do not document a separate switch for that reward screen.

Turning off an alert does not stop Blue Essence from being earned or remove it from your account. It only changes whether a particular message or marker appears. The steps below help you identify the alert first, then use the narrowest available setting.

Which Blue Essence notification are you seeing?

League can show several different notices that players may associate with Blue Essence:

• A small dot, badge, or number on a client tab: This is a new-content marker, sometimes called a “pip.” It can point to more than Blue Essence, such as new collection content or a mission.
• A mission notice or reward confirmation after a game: Missions can appear through a small client notification, and Riot says the client can display a takeover-style message confirming a completed mission and its reward. If Blue Essence is that reward, the popup is tied to the mission, rather than a standalone currency alert.
• A Windows notification banner: This is generated by Windows. Changing Windows notification permissions can hide those desktop banners, but it will not remove content displayed inside the League client.

Riot’s Missions support article explains that missions may appear in a small popup and that completing a mission can trigger a client message confirming the reward. It does not list a Blue Essence-specific notification toggle. That distinction matters: turning off new-content markers may help with a badge, while a mission-completion message may not have an individual off switch.

How to turn off new-content markers in the League client

If the alert is a dot or badge on a client tab, look for the client’s notification or collection-pip controls. The names can vary by client version, region, or rollout, so match the setting to the marker you want to hide instead of switching off every notification.

1. Open the League of Legends client and sign in. The in-client settings are available after the client loads.
2. Open Settings. Select the gear icon in the client. Depending on the current layout, it may be near the upper-right area.
3. Open Notifications. Review the available notification categories. Look for wording related to new content, collection notifications, or notification pips.
4. Turn off only the matching marker option, if present. If the label refers to collection or new-content pips, disabling it may hide those indicators for multiple types of content—not just Blue Essence.
5. Return to the client and check the same tab. If a badge remains, open the relevant Missions, Loot, or Collection area once. Some markers indicate unread content rather than a new alert preference.

Riot’s public documentation confirms that the client has a Settings area, but it does not provide a current, region-by-region list of every notification toggle or confirm that a pip switch hides every Blue Essence-related notice. Treat the labels actually shown in your installed client as authoritative. If you do not see a matching option, do not change account files or install a third-party client modification; there is no verified Blue Essence-only setting to enter elsewhere.

Can you turn off the popup after a mission awards Blue Essence?

There is no verified way to suppress only that Blue Essence reward popup. Riot describes mission notifications and reward confirmation in its support material, but does not document a control that disables just the completion screen while preserving other client notices. If you receive the reward screen after finishing a mission, dismiss it and check the client’s Notifications settings for any broader mission or popup category. If no relevant toggle appears, the client may not offer a supported way to turn that specific message off.

Do not confuse the message with the currency itself. If a mission lists Blue Essence as its reward, the notification is informational; changing an alert preference does not cancel the mission, change its reward, or prevent the Blue Essence from being credited. Check your balance or reward history in the client if you want to confirm the currency was added.

How to hide Windows banners without changing League’s in-client notices

Use this route only if a notification appears outside the League client as a Windows banner. In Windows 11, open Start > Settings > System > Notifications, then find League of Legends or Riot Client under notifications from apps and other senders. Turn off notifications for that app or disable banners while keeping notifications in the notification center.

Microsoft documents per-app controls for notification banners, sound, and notification-center display in its Windows notifications guide. This affects Windows-level notifications only. It will not hide a mission popup, new-content pip, or reward confirmation rendered inside the League client. If League or Riot Client does not appear in the sender list, Windows may not be receiving those notices as system notifications.

Common misunderstandings

“Turning off Blue Essence notifications turns off Blue Essence rewards.”

No. A notification is a message about an event or reward; the setting controls what you see, not the currency transaction. Keep playing or completing missions normally, and check your balance in the client if you are unsure whether a reward was credited.

“The Notifications page controls every popup.”

Not necessarily. Riot documents mission popups and completion messages, but its public article does not promise that every client takeover or reward screen is governed by one notification preference. Try the relevant client toggle if it exists, then test with the same kind of notice. If it still appears, the setting may control markers or a different category.

“A badge means I received Blue Essence.”

A badge may signal unread missions or new content and does not, by itself, confirm a currency reward. Open the associated tab to identify what is new, then check your balance or the mission reward details before drawing a conclusion.

Quick decision guide

Bottom line

Start by identifying whether you are seeing a client pip, a mission reward popup, or a Windows banner. Use League’s notification settings for a new-content or collection marker if your client provides that option, knowing it may hide other markers too. For a mission completion or reward takeover, Riot’s public documentation does not confirm a separate Blue Essence-only switch. Windows settings can hide desktop banners, but they cannot remove notices inside the game client. None of these alert changes should affect your Blue Essence balance or reward eligibility.
