The notification center is a distinctive feature of Windows 10, which is responsible for communicating the user's work with various utilities through alerts. This makes it possible to efficiently use the programs on your PC. Some users do not need this system, as it can distract from the workflow. Therefore, below we attach detailed instructions on how to disable it.
Methods for disabling the Notification Center.
Log in to the notification center
First you need to find out where the information system is located. Traditionally, it is located on the tray. In addition, a convenient combination of Windows + A will quickly open a tab on the display. If you are using a device on a touch platform, then to enter the utility, drag your finger from the right edge of the screen to the middle.
How to set up notifications
Now let's move on to the moment how to enable the Windows 10 notification center. Due to the entrance to the dispatcher, a window will pop up containing a layout of letters and shortcuts for instant operations. Above the icons there is a “∧” (it can also be represented by the word “expand”), which is responsible for viewing all instantaneous operations. Frequently used cells can be displayed on four constantly displayed posts for convenience. To do this among the shortcuts, select Options → System → Notifications and actions → Choose quick actions. Letters pop up in the right corner of the display and disappear after some time. The "∧" button expands the full text of the notice. If you are interested in the displayed information, then by clicking the left mouse button on the notification, go to the sender program.
You can delete notifications in different ways:
- Close the alert with the button "×" (this way you can get rid of both a specific letter and all the letters from one dispatcher). The button appears when you move the cursor.
- Footnote "Clear notifications", located above the icons of instant operations, completely removes messages.
Do not have time to read the letter? It does not matter, you definitely find it in the Notification Center. The notifications you read are removed automatically.

- Form the DWORD format 32 bits, designate it “DisableNotificationCenter” and set the value to 1.

At the same time, after performing these actions, the icon will disappear. To return a function, set the value to 0 for the criterion.
