Today’s Quick Tip….
Do you frequently get distracted by alerts and notifications when you’re trying to finish an important task on your Windows 10 machine?
A nifty setting called Focus Assist will allow you to temporarily disable everything except for important alarms with just a few quick clicks of your mouse.
Just follow the steps below to enable Focus Assist on your Windows 10 machine:
1 – Click the Start button.
2 – Click the Settings icon (it looks like a “gear” or “cog“).
3 – Click System.
4 – Click the Focus Assist link in the left-hand column.
5 – Select Alarms only.
That’s all there is to it. Focus Assist is now enabled and you won’t receive any notifications or alerts until you turn it back off.
To turn Focus Assist back off simply follow the steps above again and select the Off option in step #5.
