Lot of changes in application notification in Windows 8.

Do you like this post?

Recent application updates with new OS Windows 8. Microsoft has completely crushed the face of their flagship product, On the Start button that has been so integral since the Windows 95 days, as well as adding a brand new Start screen that, while on the other working well on upcoming traditional computers, is clearly board towards tablets. When we click on the new Start screen there are new types of apps will appear as Windows Phone-like real in live tiles which continuously updates with new information. If we require all of these flashing messages on the screen seem a bit overwhelming then you can scale it back using the built-in Operating Systems  settings.
To get application updated notification you will need to access the menu by moving your mouse (or finger if you’re using a touch-screen) to the top or bottom right of the screen, then click the ‘Settings’ option followed by ‘PC Settings’.

From the left column select  ‘Notifications’.  Here you will find options for ‘Show app notifications’, ‘Show app notifications on the lock screen’ and ‘Play notifications sounds’.  All of these are on by default when you install Windows 8. Below these three selections there is a list of each of the apps on the Start screen.   From this list a user can control individual notifications.  
For instance, if you don’t need to see the latest news flashing across the ‘News’ live tile then you can turn it off from here. Again, by default, all of these notifications are on.

While lot of users probably will appreciate the ability to see any update of Email, Calendar Events and all of the other messages that can be displayed on the Windows 8 Start screen, some users may find that it can appear a bit “busy”.
