In Windows 8 and previous Windows, there was no particular place destined for notifications. Finally, Windows 10 has come out with the Action Center where you can see all the notifications. Previously Windows 8 only showed notifications on the screen which disappeared after a while, now in Windows 10 Action Center, you can even find the expired notifications. It also offers quick access to various settings like Bluetooth, airplane mode and tablet mode, etc.
Action Center is located on the extreme left of the Taskbar. Click on the Action Center icon to access notifications and provides quick access to various settings. This is a really nice addition to Windows and you can easily customize it too. Here’s how you can customize Action Center through Settings:
