We know that Microsoft has replaced the annoying "Charms Bar" introduced in Windows 8and Windows 8.1 with the new "Action Center" also known as "Notification Center" inWindows 10 operating system. Action Center in Windows 10 is pretty much similar to notification center found in Google Android or Windows phones. It shows various notifications related to system events and apps and also helps users in accessing useful options such as Bluetooth, location, connect, settings, etc with the help of "Quick Actions" buttons.
By default total of 4 "Quick Actions" buttons are shown in Action Center and a collapse/expand button is given to access all "Quick Actions" buttons. Windows 10 also allows users to customize which 4 "Quick Actions" buttons should be shown in Action Center usingSettings -> System -> Notifications and Actions page. On that page, you can choose which "Quick Actions" buttons do you want to show in Action Center.
But sometimes you may not need these "Quick Actions" buttons and you may want to remove the "Quick Actions" buttons from Action Center. Unfortunately Windows 10 doesn't provide any built-in option to disable these "Quick Actions" buttons in Action Center.
Today in this tutorial, we are going to share a Registry tweak which will help you in disabling these "Quick Actions" buttons in Action Center. Using this Registry tweak you'll also be able to change the number of "Quick Actions" buttons in Action Center. You can show only 1, 2 or 3 "Quick Actions" buttons in Action Center with the help of this trick. Thanks to our reader "Armond" for sharing this trick.
