Windows 10's Action Center and Windows 11's new Notification Center have some similarities, but also some noticeable differences.

The Action Center in Windows 10 is a feature that aggregates notifications and provides quick access to some settings, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and rotation lock. It can be accessed by clicking the square icon in the bottom right corner of the screen or by swiping in from the right side of the screen on a touch-enabled device.

Windows 11's new Notification Center is designed to provide a more streamlined and focused experience for notifications. It is accessible by clicking the chat bubble icon in the bottom right corner of the screen or by swiping in from the right side of the screen on a touch-enabled device. The Notification Center in Windows 11 displays more detailed information about each notification, such as photos and message previews, and allows you to take action on notifications directly from the Center, without having to open the app.

Overall, Windows 11's Notification Center is an improvement over the Action Center in Windows 10 in terms of design and functionality. However, some users may prefer the simplicity and familiarity of the Action Center in Windows 10.
