Is there a way to turn off the notifications that pop up in my right lower corner of the screen or even better to choose what type of notifications show up there?
Last night I noticed some sort of News headline about the gunfire in Ferguson Missouri but I don't have any news programs on my computer (unless W10 installed something) and I don't really want to see popups that mean nothing to me.
So, I wouldn't mind getting notifications for things like LOCAL severe weather alerts but I don't really want to be getting News headlines from areas that I'm not even located in.
We have lot of apps turnings into the live tile when pinned to start in the Windows 10 mobile. Where is the option to turn live tile off for selected apps.
Any way to turn off: "Check for solutions to problem reports"?
I would like to stop receiving notifications. In Control Panel/Security and Maintenance this feature is listed under "Maintenance" with no option to disable. On the left side there is a link for:
"Change Security and Maintenance Settings", but there is no option there either to turn this off.
Every 2 or 3 days, I got a notification telling me to turn off apps that reduce performance, etc. How can I turn this off for good? In prior windows version you could tell the system to turn off specific notifications. Where do you do it in Windows 10? I know how to go into settings and check notifications. But I don't see anything particular related to that.
I have noticed that the Windows 10 "My News" is an app-ified version of msn.com. However, i was wondering if there is a way to manage the sites whose articles MSN is re-posting and then apply this changes on the "My News" app, so that it can be used as an RSS reader.
I am not talking about just selecting the topics you are interested in (politics, movies, weather, etc). I am talking about selecting websites specifically.
When I stream news or video or try an go to Microsoft support it reboots with this funky aurrrrp sound and them saying they are checking for error messages. 2 days of this is enough. When is this testing of 10 going to end?
I will pull the memory and check. Not the only message in 2 days, though.
If I launch edge it's just displaying the search bar and top visited sites. The news feed / articles are missing in action. Maybe an issue MS side (at least I hope and that it's not my machine). Everything else works fine apart from this so I guess it's more an MS problem than mine
Does the new Maps app being built for the phone and PC features voice turn-by-turn navigation? I know the current Maps app does not. You need to use Here Drive or another third party app for voice navigation.
I am having problems with me Mouse and key board, on boot up they will turn on for about 20 seconds then turn off. Then a error comes up,inaccessible_ boot_drive. But if I restart my pc the mouse and keyboard will do the same thing but instead of the error I get, choose keyboard layout, and a list of options but I cant choose them because the mouse isn't working. This all started happening after I upgraded my power supple but I when I put my old power supple in I had the same problem. I have windows 10and I have tried using different keyboards and different usb ports.
No alerts, sounds or banners especially with email. I get nuthin'. I think I got one banner from an email back on Jul 29 but after that zilch. Yes, I have my settings configured properly.
I do get Windows update notices in the Action Center and maybe a News Alert on occasion.
I have Windows Firewall disabled. I know this and it has to stay that way. I use a lot of AV apps that will not function with it on, even with exceptions.
In any case, I keep getting toast alerts saying it is disabled and I can't get rid of it. I had Action Center enabled, right clicked, and hit Disable Notifications for this app, but they keep coming back.
So, I disabled Action Center. Still get the toast alerts. HOW do I disable these? I miss the old Action Center control panel where I could just uncheck a dozen or so boxes and I never got bothered.
I know how to silence / turn off Win10 Notifications, but I kinda like them ... I just don't want that chime blasting out at a thousand decibels every time I get an email.
I have the master / system volume set at the level I want it for all my normal uses, but I consider the Notification chime to by annoyingly loud ... I still want a chime, but I want it to be very low key.
When I googled 'win10 notification volume' all I could find were instructions to silence it or turn it off, but nothing about adjusting the volume of the chime itself without changing the master volume.
Experiencing duplicated notifications with certain apps, such as Twitter? I'll get the original popup above the taskbar clock, followed a few seconds later by the same notification. And both are listed in the Action Centre. But in the new Twitter app itself, only the original appears.
I've tried disabling then re-enabling notifications, also uninstalling then reinstalling the app, but the issue remains. Can't find it being reported anywhere.
I have just noticed, on a fresh install of Windows 10 on my tablet, that the Mail and Calendar (and probably more, the list is a lot shorter than on my main PC) are not in the list.
I've upgraded a couple dozen computers from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and was informed today that on at least three of them the print notification balloons are no longer working. I have verified this is the case, especially since it is happening on my machine and I hadn't noticed. It might not be working on any of them and it definitely was in Windows 7.
I first went into the Print Mangement App and checked on the Print Server Properties Advanced tab. Both "Show informational notifications for network printers" and "Show informational notifications for local printers" are properly checked. I tried unchecking and re-checking with no success.
I then went into the Registry Editor and manually deleted and re-added the keys for HKEY_CURRENT_USERPrintersSettingsEnableBalloonNotificationsLocal and HKEY_CURRENT_USERPrintersSettingsEnableBalloonNotificationsRemote. No success.
I then went into the Group Polilcy Editor and went to the User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Start Menu and Taskbar to ebable the policy for "Disable showing balloon notifications as toasts" since I read that could cause problems. No luck.
I need to get these working because while it doesn't affect most of my users, I do have a few that use that balloon as a check to be sure all expected pages printed from an ERP system and they write that number on a check sheet.
I am not getting some notifications on Windows 10. For example, when I plug in my flash drive, there should be a popup dialog like in prior Windows asking how I'd like to use it (i.e. open folder to show files). But that doesn't appear in Windows 10.
However, when I opened the action center notifications icon in the task bar, I saw that the notification for my flash drive actually did appear there. But why did it not appear on the screen? I have app notifications enabled in the settings menu.
Also, very annoying is that when I then click on the notification in the action center, the notifications just disappears instead of allowing me to actually do what I want with it which is "tap to choose what happens with removable drives".
When auto-hide the taskbar is enabled, the tooltip (e.g., "No new notifications") for the notifications icon covers the icon. This results in having to click twice to open the Action Center.
I have one app that shows up in my notification screen twice. This program is completely removed from my computer. Have rebooted 3 times, checked my hard drive for remaining files, and removed them. Still shows up under the notification windows, with the option to turn off or on still their.
Installed Windows 10 and having following problems. I have tried to sort these out myself but am very challenged in these areas:
1. The calendar works fine but I do not receive pop-up notification reminders on laptop screen. I did some test entries in past few days and some came up but now none come up. ( I do miss the email notifications from Windows7). I deleted the Windows 7 calendar entries and re-entered on Windows 10. I'm sure all the right boxes are checked . Could this be a Windows 10 issue which may resolve later?
2. Where can I store incoming or sent emails for reference later? In W7, I kept them in the storage Folders- Drafts or Sent.
Is the only place MSN Outlook.Com? My main page for emails is Outlook ....
Use live essential mail as my email and have it set as default and set to be in notification area. Do not receive any notifications in my live tile or in notification area, unless I open it and minimize it to my task bar. Why doesn't my live tile work?
