{{Windows 8}}
The transition from [[Windows 7]] to [[Windows 8]] introduced a number of '''new features''' across various aspects of the operating system. These include a greater focus on optimizing the operating system for [[touchscreen]]-based devices (such as [[tablet computer|tablets]]) and [[cloud computing]].
Line 91:
The PC Settings component includes options to globally disable all toast notifications, app notifications on the lock screen, or notification sounds; notifications can also be disabled on a per-app basis. In the Settings charm, Windows 8 provides additional options to suppress toast notifications during 1 hour, 3 hour, or 8 hour time intervals.<ref name="GuidingTech">{{cite web |url=http://www.guidingtech.com/14628/control-windows-8-notifications-tiles-toast/ |title=Understanding Windows 8 Notifications and How to Control Them |last=Mundhra |first=Ashish |work=Guiding Tech |access-date=April 9, 2015}}</ref>
Windows 8.1 introduces a Quiet Hours feature, also available on Windows Phone, that allows users to suppress notifications based on the time of day (e.g., notifications can be disabled from 12:00 AM to 6:00 PM).<ref name="QuietHours">{{cite web |url=http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/32486-quiet-hours-enable-disable-windows-8-1-a.html |title=How to Enable or Disable Quiet Hours in Windows 8.1 |last=Brink |first=Shawn |date=October 7, 2013 |access-date=February 22, 2015}}</ref>{{unreliable source?|date=April 2015}}
