What Windows Focus changes
Focus is a timed Windows feature as well as a way to play Spotify audio. By default, Windows turns on Do not disturb during a session and temporarily disables taskbar app badges and flashing. In Settings > System > Focus, you can adjust the duration, whether the timer appears in Clock, taskbar indicators, and Do not disturb.
If Do not disturb was already on before you started a Focus session, it remains on after the session ends.

Other ways to start a Focus session
Once Spotify is linked in Clock, you can also start Windows Focus from Settings > System > Focus or from the taskbar clock and notification area. Opening Clock is the route you need for linking Spotify and choosing audio; the other entry points are alternatives for starting a session.
