To activate a specific task, click or touch the appropriate notification area icon. Notifications There are many types of notifications you can employ to help you with the many tasks you perform every day. User experience notifications can be set for toast, tile, badge, and raw notifications. Toast notifications-Designed for time-sensitive delivery of personalized content, such as an instant message from a friend. Tile notifications-Used by applications that are not currently running with an at-a-glance characteristic, giving you a quick preview of the subject line of your latest email or the current weather conditions. Badge notifications-A specialized type of tile notification (shown on the Start screen tile) using glyphs to indicate the number of applications that have updates available or the status of a running application. Raw notifications-These run a background task on behalf of an application while that application is not running in order to make available the latest content, such as an online newspaper. Windows® Store Although many applications will be pre-installed or built-in to your computer, you will also have the ability to download many other applications with a touch or the click of your mouse. In the Windows® Store you can search for and browse thousands of apps, all grouped into easy to find categories.
