Windows 10: How do I change the alarms app back to the original look?

How do I change the alarms app back to the original look? I'm not used to this which makes it look disgusting.



I blame version 2004, and I didn't even upgrade to version 2004. My 1903 PC just upgraded to 2004 on it's own.

Looking for Special Kind of Alarm App for Windows 10

Hi,

The pre-installed Alarms & Clock application in Windows 10 works like other traditional alarm apps. If you'll set an alarm using the pre-installed alarm app, a small message box will appear at the lower left part of your screen and the computer will play
the alarm sound.

However, you can modify how Alarms & Clock application notifies you. You can disable the sound when the alarm arrives and enable the notification message. To do so, follow these steps:

• Using Search, type alarm.
• On the search results, select Alarms & Clock (Trusted Windows Store app).
• Set an alarm by clicking the + icon.
  
  
  
  
• Once done, click on the three dots icon and then select Notification settings.
  
  
  
  
  
• In Notifications & actions window under Get notifications from these senders, look for Alarms & Clock and then click on it.
• In Alarms & Clock window, make sure that the options for Notifications, Show notification banners and Show notifications in action center are enabled.
  
  
  
  
• Once the alarm arrives, it will not play a sound and you'll get a notification message like this, regardless of what activity you are doing on your computer.
  
  
  
  

If additional help is needed, let us know.
