Windows 10: How To Customize Notifications Area

I am running Windows 10 Home.

And here is what I want to try and do. I want to receive only notifications from select "People" that are pinned from my "People" app. Or receive only notifications from select email address from "Mail". I don't even know if I can even customize this or not but I would like to if it is possible.

I have recently added "People" to my taskbar and would like to know when select senders send me emails. Like when Amazon or ebay sends out a package I would like to know on my laptop right away rather then having every single email showing on the "Notifications Area" I don't need to know when a order is placed since I am the only one with my account information. So I would like to know when the package is shipped though. But I don't want to see every time I get a new email. And I don't know if there is a way to block "Notifications" on the "Notifications Area" or if its in the "Email Area" or if there is a way to automatically block all incoming emails from "Yahoo! Mail" and "Mail" except from select "People" or "Contacts".

If this is at all possible please let me know how.

Never mind I just figured out a simpler trick. All I need to do is create a secondary free email address. And have those email address automatically redirected to the new email address and remove the old account from the "Email App" on the Laptop. Since I never use the "Email App" anyways and only want it to see select emails from specific people this should work great. Sorry for asking the question but I hope this will help other members as well.

Startup and Notification area

R]I ran this batch file, but it did not help (which I understand, because Task Manager > Processes does NOT show WinDates).

I am back to the conclusion that Win 10 can run WinDates manually, but not automatically at startup (via link). If I double-click on the link C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\WinDates.lnk, WinDates opens fine.

My next step will be to run a scan of system files to see if something is corrupt. However, any other suggestions are welcome.

 

How to change brightness steps in notification area


I use the notification area to change the brightness of my screen (Toshiba U920T laptop). It has always been 4 steps of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. Does anyone know how to change these steps? I couldn't find anything relevant in the registry.
Thanks for you help.
