can't set "Do Not Disturb" because I can't change the end time

[ryubyss]

In System Preferences, I can set the time that "Do Not Disturb" begins but not when it ends. The end time remains stuck on "00:00". I think I may have triggered this because I wanted to have notifications go away all the time and I set the start time at "00:00" as well. Whatever the reason, every time I install a new app I get a stupid nag asking me whether I want to receive notifications for that app. Or does "Do Not Disturb" not make those go away? With Catalina, I didn't have that problem.

I have the same problem. If I access with another account profile on the same machine there’s no problem to set up “do Not Disturb”.
Do you risolve the problem?

yes, I did. although I think that the latest iteration of macOS has an option to make "do not disturb" permanent. however, I did find a way:

Can I make "Do Not Disturb" permanent?

I've come to accept that there's no way to turn off Notification Center, but I'd at least like it to not disturb me. You can schedule a Do Not Disturb time, but there doesn't seem to be any way to...

a bit inconvenient because I now can't access the Notifications panel at all, so that I can't look at the weather widget, for instance. so far, though, I find the tradeoff worth it.
