How to disable flashing icons in Windows 10 taskbar

My question is the same as this one but for Windows 10 instead of Windows 7.

Is there a way to stop taskbar icons from flashing orange to get my attention? I find it very distracting. I have tried changing the registry values mentioned in the linked question to no success.

Did some research on the matter, and there are two things I found. You must complete both, and then restart, to eliminate flashing icons.

1. Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar and select "Taskbar settings." Scroll down to the "Show badges on taskbar buttons" setting and disable it.

2. Open Regedit.

   • Set Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\ForegroundFlashCount to 0
   • Set Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\ForegroundLockTimeout to 0

3. Then restart Windows to make sure the registry changes take effect

Hope this helps and you will find a solution for your problem with this :)
