• Cannot open the message of solution in the Action Center in windows 7

  I got the solution in the windows 7 Action Center, but I can't open it. I don't know that my internet connection is good. How can I get the message of solution? Thank you.

  Same here, but I can have a work around.  Had a Windows 7 BSOD twice in a week.  Both times the Windows Action Center reported that he had a solution, but when I clicked on the link to view the solution, the Details of the Message screen says he was unable to download the solution and told me to check my Internet connection.  Clearly not the problem.  I clicked on the link "see all the problems that this applies".  Check-video equipment 2 errors and the other "stop unexpectedly" (BSOD).  Workaround: in an event random dumb luck, I clicked on the back arrow at the top of the Action Center to return to the display of the details of the Message, and as if by magic, instead of the same message on checking my Internet connection, it displays the solution!  Now, don't get excited too - the proposed '' solution '' is not really a solution for the BSOD or apparent problem with the NVIDIA graphics card.  Here you go:

  A problem with the NVIDIA graphics driver

  NVIDIA Graphics Driver has stopped working properly.

  An update of the driver, as appropriate, could prevent this problem does not happen.

  There are several ways to find and install the driver updates, but it's best to let Windows do it for you. Try the step below, which describes the process. If it does not produce a driver update that resolves the problem, try the remaining steps in the order shown.

  1. Look for the optional third-party updates

  2. Try to manually update the NVIDIA Graphics Driver

     If no optional NVIDIA Graphics Driver update was available in Windows Update, you can try the NVIDIA Graphics Driver update manually.

     Note

     If you decide to manually update the NVIDIA graphics driver, here's how:

     1. Click here to open the Device Manager if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

     2. In Device Manager, double-click display adapters, and then double-click the name of the NVIDIA Graphics Driver device running.

     3. Click driver , and then click set to update driver.

• When asked how you want to search for driver software, click search automatically for updated driver.

• Windows 7 Pro Action Center shows current backup permanently

  Windows 7 Pro Action Center shows current backup permanently, even if it's not, I don't have a backup set and Backup and Restore cannot find a backup.

  Why can't Microsoft find a solution to this problem with the network or the corrupted/missing files? My system works fine even with this problem of current backup. So, I learned to forget. But it would be nice if Microsoft would solve this problem.

  Hi flintnodule,

  Microsoft can and will fix the issue for you, but because it involves dircet contact with the troubled pc the only way to do it is through remote assistance. that is to call you Microsoft and allowing the tech Advisor take control of your pc directly. THS can lead however still other problems that not all advisers have the same stanard in cognition, (I'm talking about previous experiances). That's why I stated measures for any user to repiar this problem themselves in over the answer, but for some reason not to many are eager to make they perfer to ignore the help and just complian. the way I used overkill stages of difficulty was the following. 1. removal of devices connected, 2. back up the system and all the files, 3. Defragment os. 4, everthing unistall, which is the third part. 5, prepare an external hard drive for windows by labelling and re-formatting upward (note do not quick format). 6, clean, install windows 7 but use the options to format your drive first. 7, do not install anything just to configure windows 7 to your configuration (test performance and reliability monitor if all ok). 8, perform an upgrade and after what game action center full tuning IE levels all the recommended and send information to all users. and set performance and reliability thanks to (allow) windows firewall. 9, Center of action for perform a full upward and the image of the value system and set it to your external hard drive. 10, test of reliability and performance monitor, once everything is ok and the Action Center indicates that it is active and there is no problem, you are ready to reinstall all of your software for your backup you make early.

• How can I get rid of the small window of Action Center?

  How can I get rid of the window of Action Center? I read Center wants to tell me what action and you click on the x in the upper right of the window that appears when you open the center of the action, but I have a small window at the bottom right which is above any other window, and I want to get rid of it. It is not an x or a close button. How can I get rid of this horse?

  Before this problem, when I started to Win 7 me a choice of normal startup or a 'safe mode' start because he thought that I had recently installed a device that caused a problem. Windows tried to solve the problem but says have failed, and then I was able to start windows normally. I have not recently (last days) installed anything, but the PC is about 2 weeks old, and I have installed things like an external usb drive, a printer, a flash drive, an mp3 player and a wireless mouse.

• Hurt, reports MSE Action Center is off

  Hello, I meet real problems with my action center in my window 7 64-bit, SP1 computer.

  I create a thread for this question because a lot of people have experienced a similar problem, but no clear solution has been explained.

  The problem:

  My problem seems to double. My Center of the action (AC) appears to be generally defective.

  I first noticed a problem when the captain reported that Microsoft Security Essentials has been disabled when, in fact, MSE has not been extinguished. It was working fine. See the image below.

  

  I tried to solve this problem, in the end, to uninstall MSE.

  I uninstalled MSE, then, I rebooted the computer.

  When I rebooted and waited for notification of HQ to bring up the taskbar, which I expect to contain the same caveat as before, which would have been correct since I had uninstalled MSE, I was surprised to find that a problem has been detected. I open HQ and found that no warnings were reported. Even more concerning, I found that when I clicked the down arrow for "security", was missing several elements in the usual list - the "user account control--> on" and the "Network Access Protection--> Off" were given, but the "network firewall extra," "Windows Update", "virus protection", "Spyware and malware protection, ' and 'Internet security settings' were not indicated. They have not been reported in KT; they have nowhere to be seen.

  Then, I have generated a system health report. The report states that "the Security Center has not registered an antivirus product." This report was right, because I had uninstalled MSE. The disturbing part is that, at this time, the AC has not been corresponding; It showed that the two issues mentioned above in the section 'security '.

  I reinstalled MSE from Microsoft Web site. When I did this, AC poster correctly all the elements in the "Security" section, have reported that MSE has been activated.

  Then I restarted my computer. When I rebooted, the same two warnings AC illustrated in the picture above popped up. MSE is running, but the captain reports that it is turned off. This report is incorrect.

  Both warnings disappear from the AC and all the elements in the 'Security' section are displayed correctly if a new definitions file is downloaded for MSE or real-time protection is turned off and then turned back on again, but they reappear after restarting my computer.

  The Question:

  How can I make the center of the action show the correct information, as it is supposed to, when my computer starts first?

  What I did:

  I already have:

  • Verified that the WMI repository is consistent
  • Run SFC - no issues found
  • Run a fix on the Windows Firewall and Security Center
  • Uninstalled and reinstalled MSE

  The result:

  None of these have solved this problem.

  How can I get the action center working properly?

  Please do not post generic recommendations or to take steps I have already taken.

  Please do not hesitate to publish recommendations technically involved.

  Your expertise is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I apologize for the delay. I have the answer. After "round and" round generic advice, I just decided to try some more specific actions.

  If you experience this problem even and you want to fix it, you'll need a PC running the same version of Windows 7 that your PC works lot of work but it works without problems, with regard to this point.

  Here's what I did to solve the problem:

  1. Create a system restore point.
  2. Run regedit.exe as administrator.
  3. Go to Center of HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Action.
  4. Compare the permissions and attributes of ownership of this key and all subkeys to your work PC.
  5. Change all permissions and property attributes for interest on the defective PC keys as they are the same as those on the operation of the PC.
  6. Go to HKLM Software Microsoft Security Center.
  7. Follow steps 4 and 5 for all keys and subkeys found in the path in step 6 above.
  8. Restart your faulty computer.

  I hope this helps. It worked for me.

• Repeat freezing and Action Center "video hardware error error issues."

  I am not very computer savvy, but I had this problem and will provide what I can.  Since 7 September, I've been having repeated, very random questions from my computer to freeze.  I have to force close down to reboot.  It happens the same way every time, where sound begins to hum and the slider's been hanging around, and it freezes completely.  What happened 9 times the date, the last being only 30 minutes ago.  I tried to update everything possible I can drivers for windows updated.  I play every day an MMO and tried swapping game pads in case it could have been the cause, but it has not fixed.  I have been able to reduce it to scroll to the bottom of Web pages that are strong images and it begins to freeze, and I am currently using Firefox.  I couldn't find anything in case the system log of the observer who matched each gel, except once with that I think that the Action Center was looking for a problem and he came:

  Problem: Video hardware error

  Files helping to describe the problem:

  SysData.XML WD-20141002 - 1521.dmp

  WERInternalMetadata.xml

  I've done checks of viruses, malware, RAM test, even taken in a computer store to identify the problem and everything came back with no results.  I'm at a loss where to go next, or what to try.

  My profile: http://i.imgur.com/H2PaXGo.png

  I currently have two monitors, ASUS, but these if overwrite problems began before I had two monitors so I ruled that out.

  Edit: Nothing else seems to be wrong, it restarts normally and worked quite well other than the gel.

• Internet access Messages Action Center

  Why Action Center shows no internet access, but I'm connected by ethernet?

  Thank you very much. I read the post. It turns out that this is not a driver problem. I think the problem is that my office has a wireless LAN card and an ethernet card. I am connected by ethernet. I had turned off the wireless LAN card, because I noticed that he was trying to connect. Well apparently for some reason any Windows detected it, and for some reason any thought I was not logged. Only the Microsoft Gods know why. Anyway, I enabled the adapter then I went back and he subsequently invalid and everything seems fine.

  In any case, thanks to pick me up in it.

  Kind regards

  Hi James,

  1 did you change on your computer?
  2. do you get an error message?

  This problem could be related to Mcafee. Please temporarily disable Mcafee and check.

  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  If the problem does not persist, then there are certainly problems with Mcafee protection. In this case, please contact Mcafee support for assistance.

  Just reply with the results.

  Thank you

• What should I do if my computer Action Center message says: "your Intel Graphics Driver has stopped working twice?

  My computer message of the Action Center said: "your Intel Graphics Driver has stopped working twice?

  What should I do to solve the problem?

  Hello AletBotes
  Try to uninstall the old version of the graphics driver Intel or by reinstalling fix it. It is always best to update the drivers to the latest version you can find on the website of the manufacturer of the computer. If you have no problem with the video/graphics and if the Action Center message bothers you in any way, you can turn it off in goin to this place the Center Items\Action Panel\All Control Panel control and then in the left pane click on change Action Center settings > uncheck the required Notification or uncheck everything. Click OK. That's all.

• How can I activate "Network Access Protection"? Action Center reads "Agent Service does not work"

  Control Panel > security system > Action Center > Security...                                                 NETWORK ACCESS PROTECTION STOP scrolling to the bottom of the list...                                                                                       Network access protection agent service is not running

  Hello

  Please write in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  I see that you are not able to turn on the "Network Access Protection" , you get an error message "Agent Service is not running".

  Maybe it's because the service related to network access Protection must be disabled.

  It would be more useful, if you answer this question:

  Your computer is connected to the domain network?

  I recommend you follow the steps to enable the network access Protection.

  a. click the Start button.

  b. Type "services.msc" in search programs and files and press ENTER.

  c. right-click Network Access Protection and start the services.

  d. choose Start from the context menu.

  After you start the services try to enable the network access Protection.

  If you need help with the Windows operating system, just tell me and we will be happy to help you.
