Notifications and action buttons<br />
In Windows <strong>10</strong>, the Charms menu, a signature feature of Windows 8 and 8.1, is gone completely. On a<br />
tablet or touchscreen-equipped PC running Windows <strong>10</strong>, swiping in from the right opens the Action<br />
Center, which groups app notifications in a single place, with a customizable group of one-tap action<br />
buttons at the bottom of the pane.<br />
The icon just to the left of the system clock “lights up” if you have new notifications, going dark after<br />
you clear the list.<br />
Figure 2-6 shows the Action Center open, with unread email messages, upcoming calendar appointments,<br />
and system messages available. The group of action buttons is expanded to show the full collection<br />
on this device instead of just the top four.<br />
FIGURE 2-6 The notifications pane shows messages from apps, online services, and the operating system itself,<br />
with action buttons at the bottom of the pane.<br />
