What are your thoughts on the new Action Center so far? Let us know in the comments.

On a traditional PC without touch-capability, click on. This is prerelease software, so there's still time to add and improve things. You can launch Windows 10 Action Center by swiping in from the right edge of the screen on a touch device or tap the Action Center icon. You can't see your calendar overview from clicking the clock anymore, for example. I really appreciate the added functionality with the ability to configure certain quick actions from directly within the Action Center itself, but it is missing things. That's our closer look at the new Action Center on Windows 10X, shaping up as a sizeable improvement over its predecessor. Clicking on your user picture will give you options to lock and sign out of your PC. You've also got power options, a settings shortcut, and your user profile picture located at the bottom right, as those functions no longer reside with the Start menu on Windows 10X. The Action Center also acts as your system tray overflow, with details like battery percentage appearing in the bottom left on a device with a battery inside. You can jump into the Windows Settings app to further control where and how notifications appear, and there's a "Clear all" button at the top right of the notifications panel. It houses all your notifications, and groups them under different apps when they come in. The notifications panel that sits above the music control and quick settings panel behaves similarly to Windows 10. Source: Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Windows Central)
