Are you using a third party keyboard? I know Logitech Setpoint has onscreen notifications like that.
Can you provide a screenshot/photo of the notification?

What’s the make & model of the keyboard (if not Dell)?
Have you checked under the BIOS for keyboard notification settings?
Do you have the Dell Peripherals manager installed? If yes then check there. If nothing then you may have to uninstall this to remove the notification.

There's no make or model on the keyboard. I swapped it for the one off the old unit, also a Dell XPS, and got the same thing. This is new in Win 11, compared to Win 10. I don't know how to check the BIOS, please explain. I'll come back to you about the Dell Periperals manager, probably tomorrow.
Here are two links to look at see if they help.

OK, tx for the link. It doesn't seem to help with what I want to do though.
I tried another keyboard - that's 3 - but I get the same thing. Note that this doesn't happen in Win10, just Win11.
I've opened a support request with Dell, let's see what we get.

So I thought I'd update on the current status. I got a reply from Dell which was a youtube video basically saying to turn off the keyboard toggles, which was already off, and turn off another setting. Didn't work.
They offered to remote access my system but I've deferred that for the moment, I hate that stuff on my system, who knows what they could do.
I'll have another look at the link above tomorrow.

OK, so I tries the links shown above. The first one, I got the same result as the OP which is that the Screen Configuration link doesn't show so it doesn't work.
The second link duplicates the Toggle key link which I've already disabled, and that doesn't work either. It's the same as the Youtube link which Dell sent me. I may try the TrayStatus program at some point, I suppose.
So I think we've hit a dead end, unless anyone else has any ideas.

Do you have the TrayStatus installed?

I had a multimedia keyboard once when I got the system, they installed some software that I had to get rid of that did that.
