For Windows Insiders running preview versions of Windows 10, the Action Center also includes messages requesting suggestions and feedback about new features' usefulness. I was also able to get notifications from the IM+ app and the Skype Translator preview version app, but not from the standard Skype app. Note that here I also had a notification from the Adobe Photoshop Express app that there was a problem accessing my Adobe Revel account. In an example of taking action right from the sidebar, for a birthday notification, I could Snooze or Dismiss the reminder. You can clear notifications, and tell the PC not to include notifications of specific types. Another new twist is that the whole panel can now be transparent, showing whatever lies behind it, like this: In the near-final Build 10166 of the Windows 10 Technical Preview, the Panel is by default black, and active tiles on it take their color from your system color choices. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Windows Key вЂ“ A to open the panel. The icon lights up white when you have a new notification waiting. To display the Action Center, touch-screen users can simply swipe in from the right side of the screen (the same gesture that opens the Charms in Windows 8/8.1), or tap the new icon:

The new one takes over these tasks and shares the older feature's name, but it's really a whole new beast, adding functionality more akin to the notification and quick access features on mobile operating systems and Mac OS X. Previous versions of Windows also had something called Action Center, a Control Panel for checking on security and maintenance issues. But enough about the Charms they'll be history when you upgrade to Windows 10 later this month. For tablet users, the Charms are a perfect fit. Touchpad users could be surprised by them when moving the cursor around the right corners of the screen. This was especially convenient if you were viewing an app (or video site) in full-screen mode.Д«ut the Charms would occasionally make unwanted appearances, especially for users of laptops with touchpads. Opening the Charms also offers a quick way to check the time, battery level, and Wi-Fi strength. Those give you access to commonly needed functions like Search, Share, Devices, and Settings. The same gesture invokes the Charms in that OS version. The mixed feelings come from the fact that I'm one of the few fans of the Charms in Windows 8/8.1. Action Center appears as a vertical panel on the right side of the screen when you swipe in from the right or tap a button in the Notification tray. I've had somewhat mixed feelings about the new feature, but I'm starting to warm up to it. Now Windows 10 brings it to PC desktops and laptops, in the form of the Action Center.

Mac OS X introduced a similar feature on the desktop with Mountain Lion in 2012. That is, the operating system can notify you about system or app events, and you can go back and peruse (and dismiss) them at your leisure. One advance that's made its way into every mobile OS over the past few years is a persistent notification feature.
