    Rpav,

    Yeah, go ahead and export the two registry keys below at these locations, and upload them. I'll take a look to see what entry may be the cause. :)

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting
    OK, hope this is it...

    Yep, you had it set to be disabled. If you like the REG file I created below will restore the default Windows Error Reporting policies. After merging it, restart the computer to apply. You should then be able to hopefully open that window without it being completely grayed out like that.

    I tried the same using group policy too...the disable part came up earlier but the problem is it keeps disabling after every restart!!! Even after i merged your registry entry !

    Its the same with group policy! It seems to disable after every restart!Is it MS Essentials?
    Now i'm doubtful!

    Ok, I have updated the REG file above to include more registry locations to reset to default to see if that may help stop it from being disabled afterwards. After merging the REG file, restart to fully apply. :)

    Is this a work computer or something that is part of a domain?

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I think the Action Center is not too bad, so I'd rather have it running. However, is there any way I can not have the icon show up in the system tray unless there is a suggested action that I should take? Thank you, Vic
