In Windows 10, Microsoft provides a helpful feature that quiets notifications when a switch is turned on, called Quiet Hours.

Currently, when quiet hours are turned on, notifications from third-party apps are turned off. Only apps like Microsoft Alarms and Clock, and Windows Defender are allowed to send notifications.
But, this is about to change as Microsoft recently posted in User Voice that due to popular feedback, 3rd Party apps would be allowed.
“We just enabled this in the next Insider fast-ring flight of the Creators Update! All third-party alarm apps will break through quiet hours now, just like the first-party alarm app!”
So this feature is now live in the Insider’s release and will be subsequently available to production with the creator’s update due in 2017. You can read the post here.
Thanks to Winbeta for the information.
