Note:

On my machine (current updates as of 4/9/21) the action center does not have a dismiss button (the X). If you enable the above behavior of persist until dismiss, to dismiss it just click the action center icon on the taskbar. (I have x-mouse enabled (hover to focus); that might or might not make a difference.)

That's what the instructions here say. The action center has never had a dismiss button (the X).

I don't see those instructions. Rather all I see is "When you open the action center, it will only stay open until you click/tap on anything else. The action center will then automatically close by default." That is the default behavior that the tutorial aims to modify. Did I miss it somewhere else? Wouldn't be the first time.

"If you turn on action center always open, users will be able to toggle to open and close the action center for their accounts by clicking on the action center icon or pressing the Win+A keys."

Hello Peter,

It's in the yellowish note box a the top of the tutorial under what you quoted.

By golly, by gosh, yup there it is. Sorry.

Hi, I enabled DisableLightDismiss that worked. However, when the action center is open it disables sounds. This is unfortunate since I am not always staring at it.
