在Windows 10中，知道如何使用警报可以派上用场。无论您是需要备用闹钟(backup alarm)来确保召开超级重要的清晨会议，还是需要帮助组织您的日程安排， (morning meeting)Windows 10中的内置闹钟(alarm clock)都可以提高您的工作效率。如果您在计算机上花费大量时间，则应该使用闹钟，尤其是当您的时间管理(time management)技能仍在进行中时。🙂 本教程向您展示如何在Windows 10(Windows 10)计算机或设备(computer or device)上添加、使用和关闭警报：
注意：(NOTE:)提供的功能在Windows 10 November 2019 更新(Update)或更新版本中可用。如果您使用的是旧版本的Windows 10，您可能无法访问所有功能。检查您的Windows 10版本，并在必要时获取适用于您的最新Windows 10更新。
如何在Windows 10中访问(Windows 10)闹钟和时钟应用程序(Alarms & Clock app)
Windows 10 带有闹钟和时钟(Alarms & Clock)应用程序，其中包括闹钟(Alarm)功能。有几种方法可以打开应用程序。由于“开始”菜单(Start Menu)中的应用程序列表是按字母顺序排列的，我们发现最简单的方法是先访问它，然后打开“开始”菜单(Start Menu)顶部的A下列出的“(A)闹钟和时钟”(Alarms & Clock)应用程序。要打开“开始”菜单(Start Menu)，请单击或点击屏幕左下角的“开始”按钮，或按键盘上的(Start)Windows键。当开始菜单时，(Start Menu)闹钟和时钟(Alarms & Clock)应用程序应该可见打开，但如果不是，请向下滚动一点。单击(Click)或点击应用程序以将其打开。
您也可以在任务栏的搜索栏中输入(search field)“报警”("alarm")，然后单击或点击以打开相关结果。
如果您经常使用“闹钟和时钟”应用，请在“(Alarms & Clock)开始”菜单(Start Menu)中为其创建一个磁贴。在任务栏的搜索字段(search field)中搜索应用程序后，单击或点击(click or tap)浮出控件右侧的“固定到开始”选项。("Pin to Start")
该磁贴显示在您的开始菜单(Start Menu)上，您可以单击或点击它来访问该应用程序。“闹钟和时钟(Alarms & Clock)”磁贴还可以通过显示下一个活动闹钟及其一些详细信息来帮助您密切关注您的日程安排。
您还可以使用Microsoft的(Microsoft)虚拟助手Cortana访问(Cortana)闹钟和时钟。(Alarms & Clock)确保她在听，然后说“警报”("alarm")以启动应用程序。
当闹钟和时钟(Alarms & Clock)打开时，窗口顶部有四个选项卡。
我们需要的标签被称为，你猜对了，警报(Alarm)，所以点击或点击它。
注意：(NOTE:)本教程重点介绍手动使用Windows 10警报的老式方式。如果您更喜欢语音控制，还可以将Microsoft的Cortana与闹钟应用程序一起使用。(Alarms & Clock)要了解更多信息，请阅读：如何在Windows 10中使用(Windows 10)Cortana设置计时器和闹钟。
如何在 Windows 10 中添加警报
在Windows 10中，闹钟是记住在特定日子特定时间需要完成的事情的好方法，例如给植物浇水、给宠物洗澡或打扫房子。您可以同时激活 30 多个警报。我们本可以更具体，但我们认为 30 对普通用户来说已经绰绰有余（而且我们也感到无聊🙂）。只要您的PC 或设备(PC or device)处于唤醒状态，您的闹钟就会在您决定的时间响起，即使它已被锁定。要添加新警报，请单击或点击(click or tap)“警报”选项卡底部的“添加新警报”("Add new alarm")按钮(Alarm)。
这将打开“新警报”(New alarm)窗口，您可以在其中首先通过滚动并选择要触发的小时和分钟来设置警报时间。(alarm time)距离闹铃响起的剩余时间显示在下方。
单击或点击警报名称(Alarm name)下的字段可让您输入警报名称，而不是默认名称(default name) 警报 (1)(Alarm (1))。我们创建了一个名为Yoga的闹钟来提醒我们花时间放松一下。
如果您不想为闹钟命名，Windows 10 可以帮助您区分它们，并在通用Alarm之后添加一个新编号。接下来，您可以决定警报在重复(Repeats)部分中发生的频率。默认值为Only once，但单击或点击它会显示更多选项。
单击(Click)或点击以选择需要闹钟的工作日。完成后，单击或点击显示工作日的部分之外，您的更改将被保存。
如上所示，我们选择了Tuesday、Thursday、Saturday和Sunday。在下一个屏幕截图中，您可以看到我们的选择在重复(Repeats)部分中优雅地显示为“周末、周二、周四("Weekends, Tue, Thu)”。
单击或点击Chimes以更改警报的声音(Sound)。
在可用声音列表中，单击或点击(click or tap)播放以收听曲调。(Play)当您下定决心时，单击或点击该条目，您的偏好将被保存。(Click)
注意：(NOTE:)您是否知道回声音与(Echo)Windows 10中的计时器使用的音相同？要了解有关计时器的更多信息，请阅读如何(How)使用Windows 10 计时器(Timer)。
您还可以通过选择时间范围来设置(time frame)贪睡时间(Snooze time)。单击(Click)或点击默认的10 分钟(10 minutes)以打开下拉菜单。
禁用贪睡功能或选择显示的值之一。单击(Click)或点击您的选择，它会被保存。
完成闹钟设置后，按窗口右下角的保存按钮。(Save)
您的闹钟现已设置，您可以在“闹钟和时钟”应用程序的“(Alarms & Clock)闹钟(Alarm)”选项卡中看到它显示。
除非您想密切关注您的日程安排，否则您可以在完成后关闭“闹钟和时钟”(Alarms & Clock)应用程序。您的闹钟会在设定的时间(set time)响起。
如何在 Windows 10 中使用警报
您创建的闹钟显示在闹钟应用程序的闹钟(Alarms & Clock)选项(Alarm)卡中。
您可以通过单击或点击右侧的开关随时打开或关闭警报。
要编辑警报，请单击或点击(click or tap)它。编辑警报(Edit alarm)窗口打开，您可以像创建警报时一样调整警报设置。
当闹钟响起时，其默认行为(default behavior)是通过播放声音并在屏幕右下角显示横幅来提醒您。降低从 Windows 10计算机或设备(computer or device)播放的其他声音的音量，以确保您不会错过闹钟。
要更改此行为，请修改闹钟(Alarms & Clock)应用程序的常规通知。若要了解如何执行此操作，请阅读如何停止和配置Windows 10应用通知。
如果您还需要更多时间，您可以暂停(Snooze)闹钟。Windows 10 认为您的需求可能在创建警报时发生了变化，并允许您修改暂停(Snooze for)多长时间。单击(Click)或点击预设值(preset value)以打开下拉菜单。
选择(Select)您希望将闹钟推迟多长时间。
无论您是否修改了贪睡时间(Snooze time)，单击或点击贪睡(Snooze)按钮以将闹钟推迟显示的持续时间。
当贪睡时间(snooze duration)过去后，您的闹钟会再次响起，您可以按照相同的步骤将其推迟。如果您按时完成，请单击或点击(click or tap)关闭(Dismiss)以完全停止警报并隐藏横幅。
提示：(TIP:)单击或点击显示警报详细信息区域中的横幅也会停止警报，同时还会打开“闹钟(Alarm)和时钟”(Alarms & Clock)应用程序的“警报”选项卡。
如何在 Windows 10 中删除警报
即使您将警报设置为仅工作一次(Only once)，完成后它也不会从“警报(Alarm)”选项卡中删除。如果您想在其他时间再次使用它，它会被保存。但是，删除警报很简单。
单击(Click)或点击任何警报，无论是否激活，以打开其编辑警报(Edit alarm)窗口。要删除它，您可以按键盘上的Delete键或窗口底部的Delete按钮。(Delete)
要确认您的选择，请再次单击或点击(click or tap)删除(Delete)，您的闹钟就会消失。
要立即删除任何警报，无论是否激活，右键单击或按住它以显示单选项菜单(one-option menu)。单击(Click)或点击删除(Delete)。
您的闹钟已删除，并从“闹钟(Alarm)”选项卡中消失。要同时删除更多警报，请单击或点击(click or tap)位于窗口右下角的选择警报按钮。(Select alarms)
每个警报旁边都会显示一个选择框。单击(Click)或点击要删除的警报以将其选中。
单击或点击窗口底部的“删除选定的警报”按钮以删除选定的警报。("Delete selected alarms")
选定的警报会立即从警报(Alarm)选项卡中删除。
您认为警报可以改进吗？
我们在一篇关于Windows 10中的(Windows 10)议程(Agenda)的文章之后不久编写了本教程，该文章也旨在帮助您提高时间管理(time management)技能（或缺乏时间管理技能🙂）。这让我们思考：如果您的活动警报与此功能集成，那不是很好吗？您还可以从系统托盘(system tray)轻松访问它们。你怎么看？您认为Windows 10中的警报可以通过任何方式进行改进吗？给我们留下您的意见。
How to use and turn off alarms in Windows 10
In Windows 10, knowing how to use alarms can come in handy. Whether you need a backup alarm to ensurе you make that super-important early morning meeting, or need help organizing yоur dailу schedule, the built-in alarm clock in Windоws 10 can boost your productіvity. You should use alarms if you spend a lot of time on your computer, especially while your time management skills are ѕtill a work in progress. 🙂 This tutorial shows you how to add, use, and turn off alarms on your Windows 10 computer or device:
NOTE: The features presented are available in Windows 10 November 2019 Update or newer. If you're using an older version of Windows 10, you might not have access to all the features. Check your Windows 10 build and, if necessary, get the latest Windows 10 update available for you.
How to access the Alarms & Clock app in Windows 10
Windows 10 comes with the Alarms & Clock app, which includes the Alarm feature. There are several ways to open the app. Since the list of apps in the Start Menu is sorted alphabetically, we found it easiest to first access it, and then open the Alarms & Clock app, which is listed under A, at the top of the Start Menu. To open the Start Menu, either click or tap on the Start button from the bottom-left corner of the screen, or press the Windows key on your keyboard. The Alarms & Clock app should be visible when the Start Menu opens, but scroll down a bit if it's not. Click or tap on the app to open it.
You can also type "alarm" in your taskbar's search field, and then click or tap to open the relevant result.
If you use the Alarms & Clock app often, create a tile for it in your Start Menu. After searching for the app in your taskbar's search field, click or tap on the "Pin to Start" option on the right-hand side of the flyout.
The tile is displayed on your Start Menu, and you can click or tap on it to access the app. The Alarms & Clock tile also helps you keep an eye on your schedule, by showing your next active alarm and some details about it.
You can also access Alarms & Clock with Cortana, Microsoft's virtual assistant. Make sure she's listening, and say "alarm" to launch the app.
When Alarms & Clock opens, there are four tabs at the top of the window.
The tab we need is called, you guessed it, Alarm, so click or tap on it.
NOTE: This tutorial focuses on using the Windows 10 alarms manually, the old-fashioned way. You can also use Microsoft's Cortana with the Alarms & Clock app if you prefer voice control. To learn more about that, read: How to set timers and alarms using Cortana in Windows 10.
How to add alarms in Windows 10
In Windows 10, alarms are a great way to remember things that need to get done at specific times during certain days, like watering your plants, bathing your pet, or cleaning the house. You can have over thirty alarms active at the same time. We could have been even more specific, but we figured thirty is more than enough for the average user (and we also got bored 🙂 ). Your alarm goes off at the time you decide, as long as your PC or device is awake, even if it's locked. To add a new alarm, click or tap on the "Add new alarm" button at the bottom of the Alarm tab.
This opens the New alarm window, where you can first set the alarm time by scrolling and selecting the hour and the minute you want it triggered. The time left until the alarm sounds is displayed below.
Clicking or tapping the field under Alarm name lets you type in a name for your alarm, instead of the default name Alarm (1). We created an alarm called Yoga to remind us to take time to relax.
If you're not in the mood to name your alarms, Windows 10 helps you differentiate between them and adds a new number after the generic Alarm. Next, you can decide how often your alarm occurs in the Repeats section. The default value is Only once, but clicking or tapping on it reveals more options.
Click or tap to select the weekdays when you need your alarm. When you are done, click or tap outside of the section showing the weekdays, and your changes are saved.
As seen above, we selected Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. In the next screenshot, you can see our choices elegantly displayed in the Repeats section as "Weekends, Tue, Thu."
Click or tap on Chimes to change the Sound for your alarm.
In the list of available sounds, click or tap on Play to listen to a tune. Click or tap on the entry when you make up your mind, and your preference is saved.
NOTE: Did you know that the Echo tone is the same one used by timers in Windows 10? To learn more about timers, read How to use the Windows 10 Timer.
You can also set the Snooze time by selecting a time frame for it. Click or tap on the default 10 minutes to open a drop-down menu.
Disable the snooze function or select one of the values displayed. Click or tap on your choice, and it is saved.
When you are done setting up your alarm, press the Save button from the bottom right area of the window.
Your alarm is now set, and you can see it displayed in the Alarm tab of the Alarms & Clock app.
Unless you want to keep an eye on your schedule, you can close the Alarms & Clock app when you are done. Your alarm sounds at the set time.
How to use alarms in Windows 10
The alarms you create are displayed in the Alarm tab of the Alarms & Clock app.
You can turn an alarm on or off at any time by clicking or tapping the switch located to its right.
To edit an alarm, click or tap on it. The Edit alarm window opens, letting you adjust your alarm's settings the same way you did when you created it.
When an alarm goes off, its default behavior is to alert you by playing its sound and displaying a banner in the bottom-right corner of your screen. The volume of other sounds playing from your Windows 10 computer or device is lowered to ensure you don't miss the alarm.
To change this behavior, modify the general notifications for the Alarms & Clock app. To learn how to do that, read How to stop and configure Windows 10 app notifications.
If you still need a bit more time, you can Snooze your alarm. Windows 10 considers that your needs might have changed from the alarm's creation and lets you modify how long to Snooze for. Click or tap on the preset value to open a drop-down menu.
Select for how long you want to postpone your alarm.
Whether you modified the Snooze time or not, click or tap on the Snooze button to postpone the alarm for the displayed duration.
Your alarm goes off again when the snooze duration has gone by, and you can postpone it by following the same steps. If you're right on schedule, click or tap on Dismiss to stop the alarm entirely and hide the banner.
TIP: Clicking or tapping on the banner in the area displaying the alarm's details also stops the alert, while also opening the Alarm tab of the Alarms & Clock app.
How to remove alarms in Windows 10
Even if you set an alarm to work Only once, it doesn't get removed from the Alarm tab when it is done. It is saved in case you want to use it again at another time. However, removing alarms is simple.
Click or tap on any alarm, active or not, to open its Edit alarm window. To remove it, you can press either the Delete key on your keyboard or the Delete button at the bottom of the window.
To confirm your choice, click or tap on Delete again, and your alarm is gone.
To instantly delete any alarm, active or not, right-click or press-and-hold on it to reveal a one-option menu. Click or tap on Delete.
Your alarm is deleted, and it disappears from the Alarm tab. To delete more alarms at the same time, click or tap on the Select alarms button located in the bottom-right corner of the window.
A select box is displayed next to each alarm. Click or tap on the alarm you want removed to select it.
Click or tap on the "Delete selected alarms" button at the bottom of the window to remove the selected alarm(s).
The selected alarms are immediately removed from the Alarm tab.
Do you think the alarms could be improved?
We wrote this tutorial shortly after an article about the Agenda in Windows 10, which is also meant to help with your time management skills (or lack thereof 🙂 ). That got us thinking: wouldn't it be great if your active alarms were integrated with this feature? You would also be able to easily access them from the system tray. What do you think? Do you think the alarms in Windows 10 can be improved in any way? Leave us a comment with your opinion.
