Out of the innumerable features that make Windows 10 the powerhouse of an Operating System that it is, one very useful is the Action Center. Conveniently accessible from anywhere in the OS with just a mouse click (or a keyboard shortcut), Action Center lets you access all important (and not so important) notifications from modern apps, desktop programs, and even system services. But sometimes, these notifications can get a little too much to handle. And while you can easily turn them off for the modern apps, this doesn’t work for alerts from desktop programs and system services. Problem?
Hardly, as Windows 10 makes it ridiculously easy to disable notifications from just about any program or service, directly from the Action Center. Stoked? Get the lowdown on how to disable app notifications from Action Center in Windows 10, on the other side of the break.

Now, to disable notifications from a program/service, simply right click on it, and select the Turn off notifications for this app option from the context menu. Obviously, for this to work, the Action Center needs to have at least one notification from the program/service whose alerts you want to turn off. Here’s a screenshot:
