How to Turn Off the Action Center in Windows 10

This very quick and easy to follow guide will show you how to disable the “Action Center” that comes with Windows 10.

Plus, it’s very easy to turn on again should you decide you want it back.

Here’s the Action Center in action. By disabling it you’ll still get the little ‘notifications’ so you won’t miss out on anything – but the Action Center itself will be gone.
