Why Use Windows 10 Action Center Instead of Settings App?

Action Center is one of the underrated features in Windows 10. Most users only use it to see the message and perhaps the frequency of using shortcut icons at the bottom of the control panel is not much.

However, if you have a habit of using Action Center instead of Settings application, you can save clicks and time. Let's find out 3 of the most useful Action Center shortcuts!

1. Wi-Fi

To turn on and off Wi-Fi without using Action Center (or Wi-Fi icon in the taskbar), you need to access Start> Settings> Network and Internet> Wi-Fi and adjust the slider on the screen.

You can see that if you don't use the Action Center shortcut, you will spend 5 clicks, move and load time in the Settings app.

2. Night Light

Since Microsoft released Creators Update this spring, Windows 10 users have been able to use the built-in blue light filter. This feature will reduce the blue light on the computer, making it easy for you to use the device in the dark without fear of eyes.

To turn on Night Light mode in the Settings app, go to Start> Settings> System> Display and adjust the Night Light slider.

3. Bluetooth

If you do not use Action Center, you will waste 5 unnecessary clicks. If you want to turn Bluetooth on or off using the Settings application, you will need to access Start> Settings> Devices> Bluetooth and Other Devices and adjust the slider.
