  1. Help with Action Center


    Not sure if this is an actual thing, but I'm curious how to close out a notification (not just dismiss it to the Action Center) when it pops up.

    In Windows 2019 (Server), when the notification pops up, there is an X in the top right corner. Clicking that will dismiss it completely, no need to open the Action Center. However, on my PC there is just the arrow button, which only dismisses it to the Action Center. To fully close it out, I have to actually open the Action Center and click the X.

    Is there a setting or anything in Windows 10 that can be changed to make this behavior more like the Windows 2019 behavior?

    Edit: if it makes a difference, my OS details:
    Windows 10 Home, Version 20H2, Build 19042.746

    TIA

    Help with Action Center

    I've read through the thread you referred me to from above.

    Step 1:


    • Open the Start menu, type Turn system icons on or off in the search bar and click on Turn system icons on or off from the search bar results.

    • Turn the Action center on.
    I ended up having to go in through settings to look at the above suggestion. When I typed it in the Start menu it took me to the internet. After that this popped up on me with notification. BUT, Action Center is on.

    No clue on that at all. I think that's something else from me being sent to the internet while checking to see if Action Center is On or not.

    I looked at the second suggestion and I've already ran two of these scans. Or I'm I reading the suggestion wrong. Do I type all of that in at once and not hit enter? Or are all of these separate scans?

    Step 2:

    Follow the below steps and check whether you are able to access Action center.

    1. Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.

    2. Click File > Run New Task.

    3. Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”.

    4. Type CMD.

    5. Type all the following four commands one by one at the CMD prompt:

    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    sfc /scannow

    powershell

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    6.Close the CMD window.



    I do appreciate all of this help. Thank you.

    Hello Sue

    Thank you for participating in the Microsoft Community, my name is , I am an Independent Advisor.

    In addition to the steps executed by regedit, I suggest you disable this feature from the System settings:

    In the System window, click the “Notifications & actions”

    On the right, click the “Turn system icons on or off” link.

    Scroll down to the bottom of the list of icons you can turn on or off, and click the button to disable Action Center.

    Then, executed a Windows update and restart you machine.

    Let me know if the issue still continuous.

    Good luck on this process!!
