Windows 10 Notification Center ruining your gameplay? Try this!

I’ve been playing Fallout 4 in Windowed mode, because there are many indications that it provides some of the best performance on PC and fixes VSync vs. FPS issues. Also, I have a bit of ADHD and I like to browse the web even while playing Fallout. Yes, it’s a sickness.
