Windows 10: how to manage which applications can use the windows 10 notification area

Several application utilize the Windows 10 notifications area for useful, informative notices: the system backup program posts there when an update is avaiable; Windows Update posts there when a critical update is available; and others. However, one poster there is from the daily newpaper that I subscribe to. The posts are about their online edition, to which I do not subscribe. I've contacted them about this but they haven't stopped the posting.


I'd like to better understand what mechanism they might be using to post their notifications.


Thanks.

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.

• Untick Show taskbar on all displays; then, Apply.
• Drag the remaining primary monitor taskbar to the screen you want.

(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.
