Toast notifications are notifications that pop up &#8211; like toast &#8211; from the notification area &#8211; which is the area near the right edge of the taskbar that contains the system clock, an internet connection icon, a speaker icon, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">If you find these notifications as annoying as I do, it&#8217;s quite easy to turn them off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">1.) Type Notifications in the taskbar search and press enter when &#8220;Notifications and actions settings&#8221; appears in the search results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">2.) Under Notifications &amp; actions, turn the switch off under &#8220;Get notifications from apps and other senders&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2020\/notifications20.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight Windows 10 Tips\" width=\"588\" height=\"477\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">3. There are optional items you can choose by ticking a checkbox like &#8220;Show me the Windows welcome experience&#8230;&#8221; and &#8220;Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows&#8221; which you may want to select. But these items will not generate the flood of notifications you get if the switch under Notifications &amp; actions is turned on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">And don&#8217;t worry that you&#8217;ll miss an important notification. Most programs (apps) have their own notifications. For instance, your mail program can be set to alert you when you get a new mail message and your antivirus program will alert you when it&#8217;s time to renew or update. So there is no important reason to leave notifications turned on and no reason to put up with those never-ending popups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; How to Put an End to Windows 10 Notifications One of the most irritating things about Windows 10 &#8211; to me at least &#8211; is its default settings where &#8220;toast&#8221; notifications pop up for almost everything.
