How to disable windows 10 notifications when in-game (full screen)?
I got an alienware laptop at the start of the year and I'm loving it so far except for one small problem:

I keep getting notifications from my google, facebook, email and youtube account even though I'm in-game full screen. My old laptop only notified me when I exited to alt+tabbed out of the game.

How do I stop notifications from popping up when I'm in-game? Please help?

To tweak it, go to Settings -> System -> Focus Assist
