Notifications and Actions

These set of options allow you to configure the quick actions in the notification area as well what and where  notifications appear.  You can also control what apps (shown as senders) can send notifications.

The Quick Action Tiles that appear depend on your configuration and the active apps as well as the version of the operating system

Quick Actions

The Quick Actions setting allows two options :-

  • Moving the tiles around to suite your preferences

  • Adding or removing tiles to suite your preferences

Some considerations could be :-

  • Airplane mode would not be needed on a desk top.

  • The user may not have a VPN connection

This is the view in the Notification and Action Centre panel and will show your preferences as selected in the settings.

In addition the number of tiles can be shown expanded as shown above or collapsed as shown below.

The settings here give you an opportunity to switch which notifications you receive.

Too many notifications are annoying and there are also privacy considerations. I prefer to have them turned off. You chose.
