While Windows 10 can overwhelm you with tons of notifications by default, the operating system incorporates different customization options to reduce the number of alerts you get in your devices. Of course, remember that for those times when you need a total pause from notifications, you can always open Action Center ( Windows key + A) or right-click the Action Center button in the taskbar to enable Quiet Hours. Apple OS X and iOS have included support for badge notifications for a long time. It's worth pointing out that badges are new to Windows 10, but they're not unique.
