Thanks for the clarification, James. It seems like there may be two different ways to get mnotificaton into Windows 10, and only one of them makes use of the Action Center.
This looks like the method you used: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730952.aspx This one seems to offer more: https://gist.github.com/altrive/72594b8427b2fff16431 Quickstart: Sending a local toast notification and handling activations from it (Windows 10) A toast notification is a message that an app can construct and deliver to the user while he/she is not currently inside your app. blogs.msdn.microsoft.com Regards, ASB http://XeeMe.com/AndrewBaker Providing Expert Technology Consulting Services for the SMB market… GPG: 1AF3 EEC3 7C3C E88E B0EF 4319 8F28 A483 A182 EF3A On Fri, Jul 1, 2016 2:09 PM, James Rankin [email protected] wrote: Sorry if I'm not being clear...

If it is, we throw an error into the Notification Center using this PowerShell:- [void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms") $objNotifyIcon = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon $objNotifyIcon.Icon = "C:\windows\system32\icon.ico" $objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipIcon = "Error" $objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipText = "C: drive disk space is less than defined threshold of 1GB. Please free up disk space or contact support." $objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipTitle = "Machine check failure" $objNotifyIcon.Visible = $True $objNotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip(10000) This seems to work nicely:- However, the drawback is that once the message disappears from the user ’ s screen, there is no way to view it in the Notification Center – it simply disappears and leaves no trace. Does anyone know how to make the message “ stay ” in the Notification Center using a method like this, or should I just bite the bullet and write to the event log through PowerShell? It would be so much nicer to have it in the Notification Center until dismissed by the user … Cheers, James Rankin EUC Solutions Architect | 07809 668579 | [email protected] One Trinity Green, Eldon Street, South Shields, Tyne & Wear, NE33 1SA Tel: 0191 481 3446
