Question Can Windows Notification Center be made to automatically clear the notifications ?

[accesscpu_]

I have certain notifications set to appear in my Windows Notification Center side bar, but it does get annoying that they stay there forever (unless I manually hit the blue "Clear Notifications" button at the bottom all the time. Can this be set for them to expire after a certain period and auto clear (or perhaps by using a 3rd party app)?

Does "WIN" + "N" open Notifications? And is that where you are seeing the blue "Clear Notifications" button?

It's this menu on the right hand side of Windows 10 (there are notices in that menu, but cropped it down for the "clear" button)

And, if "Clear all notification" is clicked, do all of the notifications clear?

My thoughts being either a utility such as AutoKey or some script launched at startup that will mimic the necessary keystrokes and thus clear the notifications.

PowerShell may be viable.

The link came up several times with respect to BurntToast and Notifications. I have not worked (full disclosure) with BurntToast and the script also involves the Registry. Generally something to be avoided.

The script may be worth a try if you 1) willing to try some coding and 2) have a backup system or environment to test in.

Determine if the script works and then add it to Startup or Task Scheduler to be triggered.
