Action Center Message

My action center has had the same message for months now. It says to insert removable media (important). I have never had problems with this before, but now when I try to click on it nothing happens. When I put removable media in my computer nothing happens.
When I try to click on the more information link next to the message, nothing happens then either. There is a small blue and yellow shield next to where it says Insert removable media and it has the same shield on the more information link as well. I would
like to get this handled. It is really annoying and I can't figure out how to fix it. 

Hi,
This message is related to Backup feature.
Did you have an automatic backup scheduled.
I suggest you check the File History setting.
If you have scheduled an automatic backup, you can back up your system, and then turn off the backup feature to check if the message disappears.

  • How can I turn off messages for certain Action Center items?

    I'd like to find a way to turn off messages for Windows Update, Network Firewall and Windows Backup. Ideally I'd like to do it with Group Policy however I can't find a policy for this. We're deploying Windows 7 right now and we'll need a solution that's domain-wide.Orange County District Attorney

  • Windows 8 action center will not open

    I have two problems one being that my action center won't work and if i try to install anything it will pop up a message saying class not registered. The second problem is my sound. My sound works for almost everything but games and itunes and ive tried
    messing around with the sound setting but still cannot get it to work. I pulled up a console on one of my games and it said it couldnt find a recording device.

    Hi,
    For the first question ,the system may not be loaded correctly or may corrupt ,here is my suggestion to handle this:
     Run SFC scan. System File Checker (sfc) scan will make Windows replace corrupt or missing system files on your computer.  Steps to perform sfc scan: a. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click
    Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator. b. Click Continue or supply Administrator credentials if prompted. c. In the Command Prompt window type the following, and press Enter: sfc /scannow Refer this KB article for more information:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
    Also here is the commonly useful guideline about the sound issues ,choose the one item that fits your situation:

  • How to create a Notification in the Action center when the app is in the suspended state...?

    Hi,
    I want to send a notification to the action center of Windows phone 8.1, when I get a callback from the lower layer code which I have registered for(I have implemented). I am able to do it when my app is in the foreground. How can I achieve the same when
    the app is in the background.(ie. in the suspended state)

    Yes Franklin, your understanding is correct. But I cannot use Push Notification, as it require a cloud server to send the raw notification.
    Is there any other method, which can be used to trigger the app (ie... the background service registered) to send a toast message, when app is in background. Trigger should be initiated by a lower layer service running as different process. I am looking
    for something similar to "Broadcast Receiver" in Android... 
    Hi Jose,
    >>But I cannot use Push Notification, as it require a cloud server to send the raw notification
    The Background Task is the only way to make things work in the background in Windows phone, it have some triggers we can use, such as
    SystemTrigger,
    TimeTrigger, or
    NetworkOperatorNotificationTrigger:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.applicationmodel.background.backgroundtaskbuilder.settrigger

  • Where can I find a log of action center/security?

    I have a message in Action Center under security that says it has found a malware on my computer. 
    Where can I find a log of which file and location it was? 
    It only states the malware-name. No location or filename.
    Also note that this is not my antivirus (system center endpoint protection) who located the malware. And it was not the mrt.exe either. I checked that log and it is clean.

    I don't have Win 7 right now, but in Win 8 you can check archived messages option on lect side when you browse to : 
    Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Action Center
    Can you check this ?
    I don't think we have separate logging for action center.

  • Action Center SysTray Icon: "Scheduled Scan"

    I see a "hour" subicon in the Action Center SysTray Icon, action center says "Scheduled Scan". Where to find the scan information in the Action Center control panel?
    More deeply:
    Have a Windows Defender scheduled scan running.
    The Action Center icon changes.
    You click on the icon.
    A pop-up appers - "Scheduled Scan | Review recent messages... | Open Action Center"
    Click "Open Action Center".
    Received "no issues found" and have a (notification) clean window.
    So where to find that a scheduled scan is running?
    [ Yes, I can click the Scheduled Scan line in the Action Center, but if I go to the Action Center over Control Panels? Additionally, the Action Center icon is part of Action Center, right? ]
    PS: The "Schedules Scan" text does not give me any impression that something is in progress... there's no verb, nor who is showing the text. (so I were confused because I was not able to find why the icon changed for ages.)

  • Windows Action Center says 'Connect to the internet or try again later' when I have a working internet connection

    I'm running on Windows 8.1 pro version and I've had this problem since I upgrated to Windows 8. I also have problems with Windows Update getting stuck on preparing to install or downloading updates but it shows the size of updates as 0 kb and progress stays
    at 0%. I usually have to reboot and then run Windows Update again to get it to work. Sometimes it also asks if I want to resume download since it thinks I'm on a metered connection.
    I use a 3G usb dongle for my internet connection, but I also have manually setup a local network on my NIC (which does not have a gateway set) to connect to my backup server. If I remove the 3G usb dongle and set a gateway for the NIC (I currently also have
    dsl landline which is used by other computers on the network) Windows update works without problems. I have the Windows settings enabled to download over metered connections so that should not be the problem.
    Is there maybe a problem how Windows handles the internet connection using a USB dongle when you have a local network setup, or is there something else I might have missed? I did not have this problem when I was still running on Windows 7.

    only windows update, action center that seem to have these problems.
    Reminiscent of the same symptoms as a dial-up user.  Then, one way that I could use Help & Support (in XP) was by setting Never dial in the connection and making sure that Support via H&S was the
    first request I tried after connecting.  Otherwise it seemed that those applications thought they could expect LAN speed performance which was obviously not the case.  I have been surprised how relatively
    few similar incidents there have been with PPPoE because it could have the same problem, just on a faster circuit and so lower probability of it happening.
    You could try tracing with a TCP packet tracer such as NetMon to see what the timings are in each case.  Unfortunately I think that the ability to tune away timeout symptoms is still very lacking in W8.  Do you know what all your dongle has to
    do to set up a circuit?  One difference between W7 and W8 is greater use of IPv6.  So you could try disabling that support to see if your symptoms changed.
    Good luck
    Robert Aldwinckle
    Checked the properties for the usb dongle and it doesn't have ipv6 on the protocol list at all. Can't really say looking at netmon if there is problem with timings, atleast with my level of expertise. Might try to install Windows on VM on this to see if it
    has same kind of behavior since it will use the same internet connection.

  • How to use's mail's "perform mail action with message"

    I can't for the life of me figure out how to use "perform mail action with message", I basically want to create a script that get's used on a rule from Mail, but nothing I try will work.
    This is what I started with...
    tell application "Mail"
    perform mail action with message msgs for rule theRule
    end
    end
    This doesn't compile i've seen an example of it being used like this...
    using terms from application "Mail"
    perform mail action with message msgs for rule theRule
    end perform
    end using
    this also doesn't compile, so I'm not sure what it's wanting

    This is one of those annoying things about programming - you have to arrange and spell things exactly right (this gets worse if you have fat fingers). You can look at the dictionary for Mail to see the specifics - in your example you are missing an "s" at the end of the word "message":
    <pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">tell application "Mail"
    perform mail action with messages msgs for rule theRule
    end tell
    </pre>

  • Disabling special alerts in the "Change Action Center settings" window

    Hi
    In Windows 8.1 Update, I noticed that, in the "Change Action Center settings" window in the "Control Panel", the "Microsoft Account", "Windows Activate", "Windows Backup" and "Apps launcher" alerts
    can not be disable even with a local account of Administrators type. How come? What is the meaning of these alerts? How do I disable them?
    Thanks
    Bye
    Balubeto

    Hi,
    Please know that these options inform you of any issues with them if you have gotten them setup. If you haven't set up them, the option appeared to be grey.
    Once they are grey, no such alerts will display about them.

  • Enabling "Startup Apps" option in the "Change Action Center settings" window

    Hi
    I have Windows 8.1 Update Enterprise
    64-bit.
    I noticed that, in the "Change
    Action Center settings" window, the
    "Startup Apps" item is disabled.
    How come? How do I enable it?
    What is the purpose of this option?
    Thanks
    Bye

    As per my understanding startup items are the programs/apps, shortcuts, folders, drivers, scripts etc that are set to run automatically at startup when a user signs in to Windows. Disabling this might cause system issues, so its probably enabled
    and greyed out by default.

    Sorry, that's not a very helpful or accurate answer. All the Action Center does is NOTIFY users. It doesn't disable anything. The startup items are still set to run automatically and can still be enabled or disabled through the Task Manager. And the question,
    "how can I enable it" was not answered.

  • Enabling "Windows activation" option in the "Change Action Center settings" window

    Hi
    I activated Windows 8.1 Update Enterprise 64-bit.
    I noticed, however, that, in the "Change Action Center settings" window, the "Windows Activation" option is disabled and picked. How come? How do I enable and unpick it?
    Thanks

    1. What is output of command
    slmgr /dlv
    2. Contact local administrator for help (Enterprise is multilicense and some help is prepaid. If local admin has no solution, he or she can escalate problem.) You have not given more information on infrastructure configuration (KMS ?).

  • LG Cosmos Touch "New Media Center Message"

    I got this phone for my son in case of emergency so it doesn't get a lot of use. But it keeps popping up with "New Media Center Message" and it doesn't turn the display off and the battery dies in less than a day. Please tell me there is a way to stop the media center message from popping up. It seems like it's just a commercial for Verizon to sell games and apps which is not going to happen or is the intended purpose of the phone. If I can't get it to stop I am going to have to purchase a cheap phone off of eBay and sell this one.

    There is an application called Daily Scoop on the phone that sends different alerts to the phone. You cannot remove the app completely, but you can unsubscribe from the alerts:
    Turn off Daily scoop message settings
    • Launch Daily Scoop
    • Select ‘Menu->Options->Verizon Msgs’
    • Choose ‘Off’ and ‘Save’.
    • Repeat the same procedure for ‘Menu->Options->Bonus Msgs’
