• To fix a problem, click the (solution) button and follow the directions on the screen. When you are done, the message will disappear from the Action Center.

[h=3]Changing Your User Account Control Settings [h=4]What is User Account Control? User Account Control warns you when a program or user is trying to change your computer's settings. It puts a temporary lock on your computer until you confirm that you want to allow the changes. This helps to protect your computer from malicious software. When it was introduced in Windows Vista, many users found that it generated too many disruptive pop-up warnings. Windows 7 now lets the user decide how often they will receive those warnings.

Not all computer problems will be shown in the Action Center. For example, you may be having trouble with a particular program or device, or with connecting to the internet. For these types of problems, you will want to view the Troubleshooting options.

• To get there, click Troubleshooting at the bottom of the Action Center pane.
  
  
  Access Troubleshooting
  
  

In the Troubleshooting pane you will see a number of programs called troubleshooters, which help you identify and fix problems with your software and hardware.

[h=3]Recovering Your Settings with System Restore [h=4]What is System Restore? Programs that you install can make changes to your system settings, and occasionally this can cause problems with your computer. System Restore is often the easiest way to fix these problems. System Restore allows you to "rewind" your system settings to an earlier point in time, called a restore point. Keep in mind, this will not erase your recent documents, and it cannot be used to recover lost documents or other files. However, it may uninstall recent programs and drivers.

[h=3]Conclusion

Try to deal with Action Center messages as quickly as possible, and even if you don't have any messages you can always explore the troubleshooters if your computer is running slowly or if something isn't right.
