Action Center is a very new feature built into Microsoft Windows 10 operating system. It allows you to quickly activate some functions as well as review notifications of previous applications.

And if you are someone who regularly uses Action Center on your computer to perform operations, you can completely create notes here with Action Note application.

In this article, let's go learn how to create notes in Action with Action Note app on Windows 10!

1. Introduction to Action Note application

On the Windows 10 operating system, there are also many applications that support note creation, typically Sticky Notes, which has existed on the Windows operating system for a long time (from Windows XP version), It allows you to create and pin notes to Windows Desktop easily.

However, many people do not like the style of Sticky Notes creating notes, for example, I do. Because leaving these notes on the screen seems rather cumbersome, taking up a lot of space, and secondly, others just need to look at it and see immediately, there is no privacy, especially important notes.

My personal opinion is like that, in general it also depends on your purpose of use.

Also for the above reasons, someone like me often uses notes to find a new solution called Action Note!

Action Note is a free application on the Microsoft Store that allows you to create notes right in the Action Center of Windows 10, just open up to see the note. In addition, if we like, we can also pin these notes to the start menu for easy viewing and monitoring.
