Turn off notifications
Step 1: Open the Windows Settings menu by pressing the Windows Key and I, or alternatively search for Settings in the Windows search bar and click the corresponding result. Make sure you choose Systems in the Settings icons.
Step 2: Click Notifications & Actions in the left-hand menu. This will take you to a screen providing access to all the settings related to notifications and the Action Center.
Step 3: Click the System icon, then select Notifications and actions from the left-hand menu.
Step 4: If you want to change the quick actions or all the actions that appear in your Action Center, you can click Edit your quick actions. This will open a side panel on the right where you can customize the different alerts that show up here. Most of the panel will be filled with recent alerts or actions that you took. But look at the bottom, and you’ll see icons for different “classes” of notifications. Click Expand to get the full view. You can click the little pin symbols for each type of notification to remove them, or you can go to Add at the bottom to add in more notifications until it’s only what you want to see.
In Windows 10, you can choose to view or hear a combination of banner notifications, which comprise a pop-up in the lower-right corner of your display and sounds. You can also configure various apps to only show notifications within the Action Center, with no other indication on arrival. A number of notification options are available for each app that supports them.
To access these settings, open the Notifications section in Settings, as before. Scroll down and click the name of the particular app you want to adjust the notifications to access a more advanced notification menu. Then simply toggle on and off whichever preferences you choose, whether you want to receive banner notifications, sounds, or neither.
