Windows 10 introduced a number of changes to the operating system including the addition of the “notification area”. This area appears on the taskbar and allows you to see messages such as emails, calendar reminders, and social media alerts without having to open up the respective apps. However, it does come with some drawbacks.
For example, there are times when you want to keep track of what’s happening on your computer even while you’re away from it. In those cases, you might find yourself constantly checking the notification area every few seconds just to make sure nothing important has popped up. If you don’t want to deal with this constant distraction, here’s how to turn off the notification area altogether.
Step 1: Click on the Start button and select Settings.
Step 2: Scroll down and uncheck Show notifications and actions in the Notification Area.
Step 3: Restart your PC and check out the change. You should now no longer be able to access the notification area.
If you’d like to do this on a per-application basis, follow the same steps above but simply scroll down to the Application Notifications section. Here, you can choose whether to allow each app to display notifications in the notification area.
