How to activate visual notifications in Windows 10

Windows 10

In some cases, the notifications that Windows 10 emits can be audible. So no message or warning appears on the screen, but we hear a sound. Although if we do not have the speaker or headphones activated, we will not notice that there has been a warning. Therefore, we can activate visual notifications, so that if it is a sound warning, a message will also appear.

Thus, We won't miss any of these Windows 10 notifications. Thanks to this, our use of the computer will be better and we will be able to prevent some problems. Especially if the sound tells us that there has been a fault.

In order to activate these visual notifications, we have to go first to the configuration of Windows 10, as is usual in these cases. There is another method, but the most comfortable one is using the settings on the computer. So we focus on this method in this case.

Visual alerts

Once we are inside the configuration, we have to go to the accessibility section. When we have entered, we look at the column that appears on the left side of the screen. We get several options, and the one that interests us is the audition. Therefore, we click on it and the various sections will then appear on the screen.

We have to go to audio. There we must look for the setting called "show sound alerts visually". You are going to see that there is a drop-down list in this section, which is where we must click. There are several options available in the list. The one that interests us is the active window or the entire screen. Therefore, we select it and we can then exit. We have already activated these visual notifications.

What we have done is that Windows 10 is going to directly show us a notification visually, not just through a sound. So we will know at all times what happens on the computer. A way to have more control over it.
