Windows 10: Ability to SCHEDULE Quiet Hours in Windows Removed?

Can someone confirm that Microsoft actually removed the ability to schedule quiet hours in Windows 10? If appears the scheduling function was removed and they added "Focus Assist" which only allows you to MANUALLY TOGGLE the notification sound suppression.

Windows 10 Action Center Stuck in Quiet Hours


Hi, I find this interesting (in a warped, twisted sort of way *Wink)
Set Quiet Hours in Windows 10 - Windows Help -


Set Quiet Hours in Windows 10

Applies to Windows 10
Quiet Hours are times of day when you don't want to be disturbed by notifications. How to set them up:

• 1. Click the Action Center icon on the taskbar.
• 2. Click Quiet hours.
  3. Set your Quiet Hours.

The last (3) seems to suggest there is a setting - but as you - and others- have observed it seems to be just an on/off button now.

E.g.
Windows 10: No scheduled Quiet Hours? - Windows Central Forums
I've not seen Quiet hours on, so can't comment on your other query, sorry.

  You can see two options on a menu – First Option isAction Center and the Second is Turn On quiet hours.
  
• 
  ClickTurn on quiet hours.

Giridhar - Thanks for trying to respond, but your response is not helpful. Turning Quiet Hours on/off is not a problem in the Notification area on my PC. The problem is that there does not seem to be any way to set QH for a particular time range
- let's say between 11:59pm to 06:00am Monday to Friday - as an example. I've seen references to being able to perform that setting adjustment through Cortana's Notebook - but that option does not appear on my PC.

I would consider the "Quiet Hours" issue a "Major" oversight, calling it "Minor" is an understatement. There are so many options that Microsoft has buried or flat-out omitted. That I fear will not be addressed in the latest Windows 10 (I could be wrong)

Quiet Hours settings are just the beginning of a long list of "assumptions & oversights" designed I fear shows us that Microsoft's ability to release a fully functional product, without having to release a body bag update (SP1) 6 months after release. Somethings
never change, I guess.
