Windows 10 is full of useful features. For example, thanks to the Action Center, you only have to one place to see quick actions and notifications. The Action Center is that icon that looks like a speech bubble. It might look different from time to time. For example, it could be empty, and other times it could be empty, but with an icon at the bottom right. This means that Focus Assist is on.
Whether it has this icon or not, but it’s highlighted in white, that means that there is something for you to see there. Click on it, and a new window will appear with what you need to see.

How to Use Windows 10 Action Center
If you don’t have Focus Assist on, you’re going to see the toast notification at your display’s bottom right. If you ignore the notification, it’ll go away after a few seconds. Just because it goes away, that doesn’t mean that it’s gone for good. The Action Center icon will turn white, reminding you that there are some things for you to look at. You should also see a badge letting you know the number of notifications that need your attention.
When you’re done looking over the notifications, you can click on the Clean all notification options to clean everything up.
All your notifications will be in groups so that you can see all the notifications for a specific app. If you only want to get rid of one or a few, but not all of your notifications, hover the cursor over that notification and an X and a cog-wheel. To erase that one notification, click on the X. To stop receiving notifications for a certain app, click on the cog-wheel.
