How do I get apps to give me notifications when I’m using Windows 10 on a desktop computer? As with mobile operating systems, Microsoft’s Windows 10 can display app alerts on your screen, even when you do not have those programs open. To do so, go to the Start screen and open the Settings app. On the left side of the System screen, choose Notifications & Actions. Mac users can find similar settings for the system’s Notifications Center — just select Notifications in the System Preferences area.
