The Windows 10 Activity Center has been developed and integrated into the system as a central point from which it will be possible to receive notifications and access various general configuration elements such as the network, VPN , cuts and many more..
In the Windows 10 Activity Center , we can see that temporarily the notification will be superimposed in order to know in detail the sender of the same, we can close it manually or wait 5 seconds for it to close automatically.
In Windows 10 it is possible to add or delete the icons available in the Activity Center and now we will see how to perform this process in a practical way..

When selecting this option we will no longer see any application icon that is overlapped when a new notification is received. If we want to see the notifications again, we must click again right there and this time select the option "Show icons of applications".
As an additional point it will be possible to activate the option Do not show the number of new notifications to avoid visualizing the balloon of the activity center indicating how many new notifications we have received.
