Fuze Desktop Notifications (Windows 10)
On Fuze Desktop 5.14 and later, Fuze uses native Windows 10 notifications instead of Fuze-generated notifications. This means you can use the full set of Windows settings to configure the look, behavior, timing, and style of your Fuze notifications.
Additionally, Fuze adheres to your Focus Assist rules, so you do not need to manually enable Fuze's Do Not Disturb setting. Your Fuze notifications will automatically be suppressed by Focus Assist.
If you're not familiar with configuring your Windows notifications, see Take control of your notifications in the Windows action center on the Windows community to get started.
Access Your Windows Notification Settings
The Action Center in the far-right of the taskbar displays Windows notifications.
You can change your action center settings below
- Click the Start button.
