I just want to get rid of Windows 10 Notifications with one click
910 days ago I vented my frustration at Windows 10 notifications.
Well someone in Redmond must be listening. They 'fixed' it.
The problem was that dismissing a notification did not actually get rid of it. Clicking the little x in the corner just sent it to the Action Center where you could enjoy reading it and dismissing it again.
Like some kind of cargo cult Toyota, Microsoft asked the one why, and changed the little x to an arrow. Now it's more obvious that you're just shuffling the notification around the desktop. Ticket closed. But I still have to handle every fucking notification twice.
Which makes the announcement of the April 2018 Update especially ironic:
"With this update, available as a free download today, you get new experiences that help minimize distractions and make the most of every moment by saving you time. Our hope is that you’ll have more time to do what matters most to you whether that’s to create, play, work, or simply do what you love."
I'm guessing they're all on Macs?
