Windows 10: Action center notifications out of the way and inside the task bar?

Hi, I find the action center pop-up notifications really annoying on windows 10. always appear on a desktop space which I need to use and I need to wait till it disappears but wait after that there is another and another and another..... I wish there was a way to move them into a taskbar somewhere next to the clock area where it will not take any of the working space on the desktop and I don't mind taking up taskbar space as my monitor is quite large with big enough resolutions that I don't ever utilise all of the taskbar space at the bottom.


Same goes for "Your Phone" app, a really great fantastic idea I can now answer or reject calls on my computer but while I am on the call it displays the call status and controls on a pop-up windows that is always in a way. I'd love to see that go to the taskbar area as well.


I don't know if what I am asking is already possible via settings or this is a future update request. Either way, I want an option to be available.


Thanks.

:)

Windows 10 Task bar will not Auto Hide.

I read the listed suggestions. Windows 10 being new does have some things most users are not yet use to seeing. The problem lies in the Action Center. This is on the task bar on the far right. It has an icon that looks like a rectangular speech bubble
with lines inside it. If you open it up, I am willing to bet it has a bunch of notifications for your attention. Simply clear these out, and then your task bar will work as normal again. You can also select the "All Settings" option in the Action Center, then
select "Notifications and Actions" and change when a notification is listed or what you get for notifications so you do not have the problem reappear later. Hope this helps.

 

Can Task Scheduler detect Action Center notifications?

Hello! I'm new to Task Scheduler and have a question: Some apps, while closed, can be opened in the background. One that I use sends notifications via the Action Center whenever I receive a text message. But due to an error, the notifcations disappear not long afterward.

Is there a way (for example, through Task Scheduler) to automatically open an app if it sends an Action Center notification? Thanks!
