Unfortunately, this new locus for machine notifications isn’t called a notification center, as it’s called in almost every operating system, in almost every language, on earth. That name’s taken. So we get a strange name for a common sight: It’s officially called the action center, although everyone I know slips from time to time and calls it the notification center.

This isn’t the Windows solution center (born in Windows 7, primarily for security stuff), nor is it the Windows 7 or Windows 8 action center (see Figure 3-1), which includes lots of system-related stuff, but no program notifications.

FIGURE 3-1: The Windows 7/8/8.1 action center is not to be confused with the Windows 10 action center.

Instead, the Windows 10 action center is, well, a real notification center. Click the icon down in the lower right of the screen (and shown in the margin) and you can see the action in Figure 3-2.

At the top, Windows 10 gathers some (but by no means all) of the various programs’ notifications. At the bottom, you have a bunch of links to various settings. These links are called quick actions and can be personalized from a list or predefined items.
