Flag in the taskbar

I get a flag in the task bar that has a red box attached to it and inside the red zone are a white x. When I click on it it takes me to the center of action and say it detected one or more problems. I tried to solve this problem, but it keeps popping up.

Hello

What version of the Windows operating system is installed on your computer?

Action Center lists important messages on safety and the parameters of maintenance that needs your attention. Red dots in the center of the Action are labeled Important, and indicate the important issues that should be addressed quickly, like an antivirus program obsolete in need of update. Yellow items are suggested tasks that you should consider addressing, as recommended maintenance tasks.

I suggest to click on a message to the issue or open the Action Center to view the message in its entirety to get a better understanding of the issue.

  • Icons in the taskbar Windows 7 (notifications) does not not at the start. [SOLVED]

    Question: It started a few days ago, I'm not sure what has changed (no updates to anything und do not clean my comp so far here). When starting, but not load my system tray icons/notice. There is a select statement 3 charge that are supposed to, but there should be more (like volume, wifi, (I have disabled power), etc.) There is 1 which is not supposed to because it is hidden completely.

    3 loading (assumed):

    ~ Intelligent ram (advanced care system)

    ~OpenOffice.org Quickstarter

    ~ Avast icon

    1 who is responsible (not not supposed to):

    ~ Synaptics Pointing Device (touchpad for laptop, I have the touchpad disabled permanently, so I completely hidden icon (no notifications).

    Icons that are supposed to load:

    Shown (visible in the status bar)

    ~ Intelligent ram (advanced care system)

    ~ Connection/Wifi signal strength

    ~ Volume

    Hidden, but display notifications (accessed via popup "Show hidden icons" arrow)

    ~OpenOffice.org Quickstarter

    ~ Avast icon

    ~ Action Center (flag)

    (I think there's one more, but I don't remember.) It could have been 'Power', which I think, but it is completely hidden, as in the system icon is disabled)

    What is already:

    ~Notifications/what watch is already very well tuned for my taste. I just got set to "Show icon and notifications", stuff the value "notifications only." (Ergo, it resides in my region 'Show hidden icons' through arrow, but is not visible otherwise.) Und stuff put not show at all.)

    ~ Windows is up to date.

    ~ Drivers are all up to date.

    ~ System is cleaned (Spyware, Malware, Antivirus, General Computer Care) a few times a week, has been cleaned out of turn, in order to help solve.

    ~ Regardless of the icon is not displayed, programs, still work properly.

    What has been tried:

    ~ To reboot first, simple. Nothing.

    ~ Searched online, find the regedit, removed IconStreams und PastIconStream in the registry, kill explorer.exe, run explorer.exe. Voila, my icons were back. Except for some I had to modify the settings on back to what I wanted. That was supposed to be the end of it. ... It wasn't. Model began the next day, icons were not loading right. The same 3 icons has charge. Tried the regedit with a reboot... Nothing helps.

    ~ I tried Regedit und journal/off voltage. Zip, they go back to does not properly.

    So, I wonder why the regedit isn't sticking. Personally, I don't find yet, everything which would be somehow in conflict with this, especially since the wifi turns on automatically does not show in the taskbar, or volume. Everything seems to work fine, so I don't understand why some of them are not loading. The only way I know to make the back is with regedit. But in doing so each time I start my computer is pretty boring.

    Search for a solution: What can I do to remedy this? Everything I looked at gives me "update drivers, windows update, virus/malware research, make regedit (mentioned above), log off / on, restart" that have been tried.

    Thanks in advance.

    UPDATE *.

    Alrighty, I tried to start in safe mode, a boot minimum then tried und tool File Checker system, nothing that was of any help either.

    So, as a last ditch effort... I did a startup und repair selected a Restore Point.

    Solution: My icons in system tray restored to a previous state until I started having problems, are evidence of as it should.

    UPDATE *.

    Obviously, I have solved my problem, but I have to mark an answer for them to consider that it solved und I can not put my own answer to select. So I chose the one who has not fixed it, but would probably be someone elses.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    This could be due to several reasons, including missing or corrupted file system. I really appreciate the efforts made to try to resolve the problem.  We will try these steps and check to see if they help.

    Method 1: Method 1: Start the computer Safe Mode and check if the problem persists. If the problem does not persist in safemode, turn on your computer in a clean boot state and check.

    Step 1: Start the computer in Safe Mode

    Safe mode is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer in a limited State. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. The words Safe Mode appear in the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you are using.

    Please refer to: start your computer in safe mode

    Step 2: Perform a clean boot in order to avoid any conflict of third party software.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Place your system in the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.

    Method 2: Run the System File Checker tool

    System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

    To do this, click Start, type command or cmd prompt in the Search box, right click invite, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    Note: Do not close the command prompt window until the audit is completed 100%. The results of the analysis will be posted when this process is complete.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

    Sort the list of open windows in descending order when windows are combined in the taskbar

    I like to combine windows in order to access all my programs in the taskbar. I have tons of open Outlook messages that I need to respond to the last open order to open older. The problem is that the list of the oldest opened open again, and I have to constantly scroll to the bottom of this list to access the most recent message. Is there a way view the list by e-mail open newest to oldest?

    It would be a time saving of huge productivity for me, and I saw that many of my colleagues would benefit as well.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Sorry there is no function like that.

    You can consider using Outlook flags instead.  Arrival of emails, you will need to respond to, click the red flag on them.  They will appear in your Outlook ' to do' list so you can keep track of those you will have to answer to and check the power off when you are finished.

  • Why my self out of the taskbar hide even with automatic on masking

    I have my taskbar to hide before and it worked, but now it doesn't seem to work for me

    I've had my laptop reimagee two weeks ago and since then, it doesn't seem to work correctly
    any help would be appreciated

    If a program is waiting for your attention, send what is called an indicator system, essentially a prescription for the operating system that "I need to be seen!  If the taskbar see this flag, it remains visible so that you can see the program which is waiting for your attention.

    The "needy" program is usually blinking or highlighted to draw your attention.  Once you click it, the taskbar will return to its concealment auto car.
    If you don't see any programs trying to get your attention, check the clock for a notification icon that awaits your click.
  • Unflagged messages always appear under "Flagged" in the Mail application

    Even after I delete the messages indicator, they appear as "Flagged" in the Mail application. How can I remove them from "Flagged"? Please note that I don't want to delete them.

    Thank you very much. This has happened since April and comes to some messages.

    Hi, ale.schmidt!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. After reading your post, I see that when you clear a flag to a message in Mail, they always appear in the box to the Flagged letters. I use the mail every day, so I know how it is important to be able to manage your messages, and I'd be happy to help you!

    The first thing I would say is to leave the Mail app following the instructions here: OS X El Capitan: Quit apps

    Once you have left the Mail app, press in and hold the SHIFT key on your keyboard. While now Shift click the Mail icon to open the application again. Check if the messages in question were removed from the mailbox Flagged.

    If you still see the messages there, try restarting your Mac by clicking on the menu  Apple in the upper left corner of your screen and selecting restart... from the menu drop down. Once the computer is back on, check if the messages are always under the Flagged mailbox.

    You can then start the computer in safe mode if the messages are always listed under Flagged. The following article will guide you through a startup in safe mode: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up

    Although the title of this article does not exactly your question, it is always a good step to take. Safe mode works certain system checks during the startup process, and disables some software that may be causing a conflict. Once you have started in safe mode, check if the messages are always listed under Flagged.

  • How to configure the desktop or the taskbar icon/link to Firefox so 42 or more recent version of Firefox always opens in a 'new private window'?

    I use Linux on my Acer laptop. I want to use Mozilla Firefox version 42.0 or more recent in the 'new private window Mode"always. When I click on the Firefox icon on my desktop or the taskbar, I want Firefox to open in 'New private window' always; no exception. When I click on the tab button or a link, all new pages should always open 'Private window' mode. In addition, I want to know that I am in a private window with privacy mask showing. Your help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you, Amos.

    Hi Amos, assuming you want to get more protection, monitoring, there are a few options:

    • You can customize your firefox shortcut on the desktop or the taskbar to open firefox directly in private browsing mode: right-click the shortcut "mozilla firefox", go to properties, and at the end of the target line that should hold them the way to the firefox program folder add " -private"
    • You can enable protection followed not only during private browsing, but in normal windows as hollow a 'hidden' preference: enter on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named privacy.trackingprotection.enabled. Double-click it and change its value to true.
    • You can set firefox don't remember history in the menu > options > sign confidentiality in order to always run in private browsing mode. However you will not be able to open all normal windows or record the history and passwords if you have defined this mode: confidentiality, and-not-track browsing history settings
  • Why isn't the taskbar Windows 10 stay on top when browsing with Firefox?

    For one reason or another, the Windows 10 taskbar is not displayed on the top of the Firefox browser windows/pages. He remains at the top in Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Why won't it stay on top in Firefox? I need to be able to see the time and date while browsing. Is there a solution to this? Please inform me of how to remedy the situation as soon as POSSIBLE, or I have to use Google Chrome (but I won't!).

    If Firefox is in display full screen, that allows to block the taskbar. You can switch from full screen to normal display using either:

    • F11
    • Drag the pointer of the mouse to the top of the screen, right-click on an empty area of the bar tab, then exit fullscreen

    If this is not it, sometimes the file that stores the dimensions of the window becomes corrupt with nonsense values. Since the file is difficult to edit, you can rename and have Firefox back to windows default sizes.

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    This process may disable some of the bars that you want to display. To enable their return, you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select the desired bars it:

    To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.

    Att/yahoo updated my email, which suggests to select Firefox as the browser, but how to get back the taskbar?

    Hi, you are missing the taskbar Windows, which usually appears at the bottom of the screen? Firefox normally does not block the taskbar if you do not use the mode full-screen. To check if you are using full-screen, you can use the F11 key that toggles between full screen and normal mode.

    Or if you meant the menu bar (File, Edit, View), you have two options:

    (1) display on request: press the ALT key to press F10 to display bar temporarily

    (2) time full display: you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select menu bar it:

  • Use F'fox on Windows 7, when I have several windows open, why the relative location of these windows in the taskbar sometimes change?

    In general, I have three windows open Firefox, each with several tabs. Firefox itself is pinned to the Windows taskbar. Some of the tabs are set to reload.

    The behavior that I find strange is that the window that initially had the means of the taskbar sometimes migrating to the first position. This behavior can be controlled, or the less predicts?

    Thank you

    Hi Avocet,
    I guess this change because it's the last window to load a new page or which has been highlighted. If this happens on one of the tabs autoload, that might explain it.

  • Firefox does not appear (it will be 'open', although it seems that it is open in the taskbar)

    I don't know if it's a coincidence that he himself has updated to 37.0, but it must be...

    When I click the task bar on Firefox and on the desktop icon, it opens on the taskbar, when I select the taskbar it shows even Firefox loaded Google (my default Web page)... But it never occurred to the screen.

    I have:
    -Windows 8.0 (No 8.1 and I'm not on the upgrade because it works better than 8.1)
    -Noscript add-on/plugin, or more
    -the drivers up to date

    I tried:
    -Uninstall and reinstall the version the most recent (37.0)
    -Uninstall 37.0 and installation of Firefox Web site archive 36.0
    -Restart my computer after install
    -Disabling service maintenance on installation

    I "allow" - ed the windows popup install twice and it does not help.
    The first time, it tries to open, she went to the yellow background on the taskbar to open programs, you have not yet used.
    However, when I click on it nothing comes on the screen. When I select always watch here my homepage. I can't do the thing in firefox update because I can't even display. I don't get the error messages on my computer, which is weirder. I updated and ran windows defender full scan and found nothing (but it is not surprising to "defender", lol).

    Once he opens the first time, even open another page opens nothing. Then it crashes and does close, even if you right click and you try to close all the windows... I have to use the Task Manager to close at the end of task...

    I don't know how to open the 'xpi' convenience store thing, sorry...

    And no whining, but why is - it so suddenly broken XD... And more important still, how in the world I can't come back to work? I use this terrible chrome I got lucky to have right on my computer already, which I only got to see one thing a long time ago and I forgot I even had Chrome... And as much as I hate to use chrome, it is actually works perfectly for me now... Thank you for any help will be much appreciated...

    The Firefox window is sometimes "off screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

    A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt.

    #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old as well.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

    Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

    Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or search from the start menu (bar (or, in Windows 8 may bar charms bar research?) type or paste the following and press ENTER to drill down to the profiles folder):

    %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

    Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

    Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old as well.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    Thank you! Your thing 'out of scope' brought me exactly what I need! I realized it was broken because of my second monitor/TV... It wasn't "on" the TV, but because he was off it broke somehow... So, once I've restarted BOTH on, she came back to my main screen/monitor (no tv). I don't know why he did it, but he must have crashed on my main screen because the TV was turned off... Strange...
