  1. How to keep game focused while incoming notifications


    When I play a game in Fullscreen, e.g. Apex Legends via Steam, it minimizes when I get a notification e.g. from Thunderbird mail client. Why is this the default behaviour and how can I change that so that the game keeps in foreground?Switching the game to fullscreen windowed mode is not an option due to performance loss.Manually toggling a focus mode every time I play is also not an option for me.Thanks for your help!

    :)

  2. (SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

    Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

    Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.

  3. Viber - No notifications for incoming messages

    Viber does not send notifications for incoming messages.

    I have to open the app to check if any messages have arrived.

    The application is not listed in the "notifications+actions" list either.

    Follow these steps to check if it works:

    Step 1: Open the Windows Settings menu by pressing the Windows Key and “I,” or alternatively search for Settings in the Windows search bar and click the corresponding result.

    Step 2: Click Notifications & Actions in the left-hand menu. This will take you to a screen providing access to all of the settings related to notifications and the Action Center.

    Step 3: Click the System icon, then select Notifications and actions from the left-hand menu.

    Step 4: Look for the Notifications subheading, where you will see a number of toggles for various types of notifications. The following is a list of the settings you can toggle on this screen:

    • Get notifications from apps and other senders
    • Show notifications on the lock screen
    • Show alarms, reminders, and incoming VoIP calls on the lock screen
    • Hide notifications when duplicating my screen
    • Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows
    You may just turn them off the notification as you need.
