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.
regeditHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\DesktopForegroundFlashCount
ForegroundFlashCountForegroundFlashCount1ForegroundLockTimeout
ForegroundLockTimeoutForegroundLockTimeout0This is the way to do it without any 3rd-party applications. The steps are in detail steps to help both experienced and non-experienced users. If you want to undo these changes, repeat the steps above using the original values: ForegroundFlashCount is 7; ForegroundLockTimeout is 30d40.
Disclaimer : You should always backup your registry before editing your registry.
You can use 7+ Taskbar Tweaker.

Open Regedit and navigate to the key
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\ForegroundFlashCountChange the value from the default of 7 to 0. Save the changes, and either reboot or close and re-start
explorer.exeYou should now find the taskbar icons no longer flash.
