PowerShell Module for displaying Windows 10 Toast Notifications

    Install-Module -Name BurntToast

See the PowerShell Gallery for the complete details and instructions.

Download BurntToast.zip and extract the contents into $env:userprofile\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\modules\BurntToast (you may have to create these directories if they don't exist.)

if you using Powershell 6 or later, extract into $env:userprofile\Documents\PowerShell\Modules\BurntToast

Please remember to "unblock" the zip file before extracting the contents. Not doing so will result in the module not working correctly. This can be done via the file properties or with Unblock-File.

    New-BurntToastNotification -Text 'WAKE UP!' -Sound 'Alarm2' -SnoozeAndDismiss
