Microsoft added some controls to Windows 10 that allow you to hide certain quick actions displayed by the Action Center. I consider these information irrelevant for the most part, but it depends on how you are using the computer. The notifications are mostly reminders to turn features on, or that an automated process completed (updates were installed, Windows Defender completed a scan).

While some of the features may be useful on desktop computers as well, most are probably more useful on mobile devices. It enables you to control features like wireless or network connections, tablet mode, or Bluetooth with two clicks. The Action Center has its uses, certainly.

Microsoft made the decision to place an icon on the Windows Taskbar, or more precisely the System Tray area of it, in the Anniversary Update of Windows 10. The Action Center on Windows 10 is hidden by default. It is very similar to the notification system on mobile devices that inform users about new events and offer toggles to turn features like WiFi or Mobile Data on or off.
