Bottom: Now your tiles sprout “unpin” buttons; click to hide a tile.

Or use the Add menu to restore tiles you’ve already hidden.

Or drag the tiles around to rearrange them. Whatever the top row shows here becomes
the “collapsed four” shown above.

Click Done to exit editing mode.

That’s why Microsoft set it up with a Collapse button, visible at

bottom in Figure 2-30. When you click it, the Action Center hides
all but the top row of tiles, as shown at top in Figure 2-30. All the
rest of the Action Center space is devoted to your notifications.

Delete or rearrange them. You may never use, say, Night Light
(“Turn Off the Tiles in the Start Menu”) or, on your $4,000 64-core

gaming desktop, airplane mode. So why should you have to stare at
their on/off buttons on the Action Center all day?

In the May 2019 Update, it’s easy to nuke the tiles you don’t use,

rearrange them, or bring them back when you realize you made a
mistake; see Figure 2-30.
