That did not help me fix my problem.
Why is my Action Center tray icon missing?

My Action Center tray icon is missing for a while and even after I right click and click properties on the tray, I can't turn it back on since it's grayed out. I tried methods of editing the registry, but no luck.

2012-05-22T22:38:29+00:00 Your version of Windows 7 rules out using Group Policy Editor.
Does your Registry contain this entry?
HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\POLICIES\EXPLORER
HIDESCAHEALTH=DWORD:00000001
You can access the Registry by selecting Start, Run, type regedit and press the ENTER key. Do not try modifying the registry. All we want to know at this time is whether this bit "HIDESCAHEALTH=DWORD:00000001" is there?
No it is not there.

1.11. The second icon you see when you open cCleaner is Registry. One reservation many experienced users have regarding cCleaner is that it comes with a Registry Cleaner. This tool should not be used. Using a Registry Cleaner, however good it is, provides negligible benefits and there is always the risk of creating insoluble system errors, which can only be resolved by reinstalling the operating system and all that entails. You avoid any possible problems by not clicking on the Registry icon.
