Windows 10: Focus Assist/Do Not Disturb keeps randomly turning itself on and off

I have no need for this dumb feature, and have never set it up, yet today it decided while playing a game that it would randomly turn itself on and off. I went into my settings and disable everything, but it keeps happening. How do I make it stop? How do I get rid of this feature I don't even want or intend to use ever? I've followed every guide I have found, and NONE of them have helped me. The sound it makes when it activates and deactivates is driving me insane, and there is absolutely no reason for it to be doing this.I do NOT have any DND setting checked. I do NOT have any Focus Assist se
