  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.

• Windows 7 Action Center indicates that Windows and McAfee Antivirus & Firewall are both disabled.

  Original title: Jlj1952

  My Windows 7 Action Center indicates that Windows and McAfee Antivirus & Firewall are both disabled. McAfee analysis shows that everything works. Looking @ my control panel shows Microsoft Firewall is enabled. Can someone tell me why I started getting these messages that no protection exists? Thank you.

  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

• In the windows 7 Action Center shows off windows Security Center

  In the windows 7 Action Center Watch windows Security Center disabled. I tried to turn it on, of SERVICES [automatically]. But after sometimes it becomes disabled automatically, use Antivirus, McAfee SecurityCenter. It is up to date and a license.

  Hello

  Method 1:

  I suggest to temporarily disable the Antivirus on the system and check if the problem persists.

  Once you disable the antivirus software follow the steps below to start the Windows Security Center service.

  one) to access the console type Services in the search field and press ENTER. You will need to click on continue if you are prompted to open the Services window.

  (b) in this window, you must locate the right-click Security Center service, now select Auto and select start. When the service fails to start, you will receive an error message.

  Note:

  Disable the software Antivirus is a potential threat to the security of the system, I suggest you to activate the antivirus as soon as you have completed the troubleshooting steps.

  Method 2:

  Try to perform a system online virus scan to check the malware/virus infections. The online virus scan will automatically scan your system and remove any potential threats caused by a virus/malware.

  See the link provided below to launch the Virus Scan online.

• Warnings from Windows 8 Action Center that McAfee and the Defender is not activated after Windows update.

  In December 2012 after installation of the updates of Microsoft Windows on my machine Windows 8 and rebooting, my icon downtown Action system gave 3 warning messages:

  The spyware, antivirus and Firewall wasn't turned on do not.

  When I was in the center of the Action, he said time Windows Defender and McAfee have been disabled.

  I ran Mcafee checks as well as the defender and it states that my machine is virus-free.

  I clicked on Mcafee and it said all were lit.

  I called Mcafee technical support and they did something in December 2012 and has solved the problem and none of the messages is new. They do not just turn off messages in December 2012, they did something, but wouldn't discuss what has been done with me.

  However, today, Jan 8/13, another set of Windows updates have been installed by Microsoft and yet once again, the WARNING messages 3 came.

  I called McAfee support again and said that I didn't call each month when I install the updates of Windows to solve the problem and that there is a bug with Windows 8 and McAfee.

  I looked at the tech of McAfee as he did helpline (I work in technical support as well) and what he did this time was to turn off Action Center messages, thinking that I DINA realize that it was not really solved the problem.

  I told him, I understand that it seems that McAfee is not working properly, but I will not renew my McAfee Dell subscription this March/13 because that doesn't solve anything... it's just disable the warning messages. (I showed her that if I turn on the message, the warnings were still there... apparently he was shocked that I knew what I was doing).

  He said that McAfee is a problem with Windows 8 and McAfee and are working on a fix.

  The tech told me to get in touch with Dell and they would provide a fix.

  This problem does not occur with my Alienware Windows 7 pc and installation of Windows 8 I received is on my other pc from Dell.

  Is someone can you please tell me if there is a fix for this?

  I will not renew my McAfee subscription if it comes to the type of service that will be provided; I'll go with another antivirus program.

  Thank you

• In Windows 7 Action Center, MSE, and Windows Defender convertible 'ON' at the same time?

  In the center of Action of Windows 7, Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is enabled.  I tried to turn on Windows Defender 'manually' and get a status of "OFF"OBSOLETE"? that quickly toggles back and forth

  I'm trying to maximize my options "malicious."  I have NOT tried turning 'OFF' MSE to see if Windows Defender will be 'ON '.

  My real question is, can MSE and Windows Defender, being 'ON' at the same time or are mutually?

  A "full scan" using MSE detected the following malicious program "trojan:Win32 / Tracur.AV". I immediately deleted it. I think it's GONE!

  My "quick" weekly scans did not detect this malware. What a scare on my new laptop TOSHIBA P750.

  Now I take the time 'always' do a full scan.

  Help

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft community.

  If you use Microsoft Security Essentials, there is no need to use Windows Defender. You can disable that and just let Microsoft Security Essentials run things.

  You should only use an antivirus program. using several programs at the same time will cause problems.

  Please refer to this link:

• 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.

     4. Select the optional updates, you want to install (especially if they seem to be related graphics), clickOK, and then click install 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.

• How to restore Win7 backup on the new system and drive Action Center repair after disk crash

  I have a Dell which took a 64-bit disk crash.

  I created there is not long from the center of the Action, a disk repair and backup of the C: drive on a backup USB 1 TB drive.  These two events has been made by the Windows 7 Action Center.

  I have a new installation disk in the system to replace the one that crashed.

  Is it as simple restore system on the new drive that boot from the ERD and then recognizes the USB disk and backup file Action Center?

  My hypothesis is the combination of the ERD and backup Action Center will bring my system to date content calendar when they were created?

  Problems to watch?

  If your image is on a connected USB external drive, you may need to install a drive to the external hard drive in the installation process.  So you should find a driver for it and store it on a USB key so that you can install it when asked.

  Starting the system on the ERD is simple and still works.  Just press F12 at first then select the DVD drive and click Yes.

  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.
