#TURN OFF FOCUSBAR HOW TO#

Although some people may find this icon useful it doesn’t really serve enough of a purpose for me to keep around long term. So as I generally like to personalise my Windows builds to a minimalistic state, without any stuff that I don’t have a use for, the first icon to go after the Search icon and Widgets icon is the Focus Assist icon (the moon in the taskbar). Although I prefer the new Focus Assist concept more than the Action Center, I can’t see myself using it.

There are more than 50 alternatives to Focusbar for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Android, Online / Web-based and Linux.

Most people will probably mistake the icon for a weather widget at first, which is pretty understandable consider most weather icons are either a sun a moon or a cloud. Focusbar is described as Bring your tasks to a focus with Focusbar - simple but powerful tool to help you work on one thing at a time.Stop multitasking and stay focused and is an app in the office & productivity category. If you aren’t familiar with Focus Assist, it’s pretty much a slimmed-down version of the Windows 10 Action Center and acts as a hub for system-wide events and notifications. Although there are still a lot of features from Windows 10 left behind, they seem to be the ones worth keeping, at least at first glance. Changes go far deeper than everyone release making Windows 11 a lot less like a Windows 10 reskin and more like a new operating system. The official release of Windows 11 into preview builds this week has been quite the eye-opener as it is very different to the leaked release from several weeks ago.
