Windows 10: A closer look at Microsoft’s new Action Center on Windows 10X

The leaked build of Windows 10X shows that the operating system will redesign the Action Center, Start Menu and Taskbar for single-screen PCs. On Windows 10X, Action Center has been specially crafted to power all form factors, including foldable, single-screen PCs and tablets.

The Action Center has been redesigned in a way that makes the current quick settings experience in Windows 10 seem outdated, but it’s technically based on the same approach with a new interface.

As you can see in the below screenshot, you can still access the quick settings, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Settings, Network, Location, and other useful options.



The approach is unchanged, but there are some quality improvements. For example, the Action Center can now group notifications in their own dialog and expand in size as new alerts arrive.

Microsoft also appears to be testing a new music control that will appear whenever an app is playing media content (audio, video).



Of course, you can still right-click on the quick settings to customize the Action Center or you can also jump into the Settings app, and there’s a “Clear all” button within the notifications panel.



There’s another important change too. Unlike Windows 10, the Action Center in Windows 10X also acts as your system tray, which means it will allow you to manage the power options and as well as the user profile.

In other words, Microsoft has removed the power options and system tray from their old places and added them to the Action Center.

Coming to Windows 10


It also seems like Windows 10 is about to get the modern Action Center from Windows 10X, possibly with the Sun Valley “version 21H2” update.

According to references spotted in the preview builds, Microsoft is exploring a similar redesign for the normal Windows 10 and it could be delivered later this year.

Disable Action Center in Windows 7?

Unfortunately that doesn't disable Action Center, all it does it cause Acution Center to bitch about the Security Center service not running.

Action Center seems to be a different beast from Security Center...

And telling it to not display any messages gets it out of the way, the same way disabling the icon in the suggestions above does, but Action Center is still enabled and running.

 

Microsoft demos new notification and Action Center features for Window


Microsoft demos new notification and Action Center features for Windows 10 (video)

Microsoft spoke at length about Azure Cloud, Office 365, Xamarin, cross-platform development, Skype, chat bots, and the Universal Windows Platform during its two streaming keynotes at Build 2016. What the company didn’t speak about at length were new Windows 10 features. In a sort of cursory glance, Build 2016 attendees were given the high-level bullet points about an upcoming Anniversary Update coming to Windows 10 users, and that was seemingly all.

However, being a developer-centric event, it appears Microsoft would rather save its list of upcoming Windows 10 features for more focused and intimate developer sessions. During a session titled Notification Futures: Action Center in the Cloud and the Windows Notification Platform, developers were given an in-depth fifty-minute walkthrough of all the features coming to Windows 10 notifications and Action Center.
