The Notification center is dubbed as Action Center on Windows 10. The Action center on Windows 10 not only displays all notifications of apps and games in one place, but it also lets you control quite a few settings from the Action Center like the Night Light, Location Settings, Network Settings, and more.

Although Action Center is useful, some user prefers to disable it on Windows 10. Few users don’t like the Action Center and never use it. If you also feel the same, you can choose to disable the Action Center.
