Turning Off Action Center Not Working

Hi,

To turn off Action Center, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

Disabling Action Center using the Registry Editor

Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection,
back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about

how to back up and restore the registry, refer to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article.

• Go to Start menu, and search for regedit.
• Hit Enter to launch the Registry Editor as an administrator.
• Navigate the following path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer.
  
• If you don't find the Explorer key under Windows, you need to create it. Right-click on the
  Windows key, select New, then Key, and name the new entry
  Explorer.
• Inside Explorer, right-click on the right side, select New, and click on
  DWORD (32-bit). Then name the key: DisableNotificationCenter.
• Double-click the new key and change the value to from 0 to
  1.
• Restart your computer and you should no longer see the Action Center or its icon in the system tray.
