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.

    Your could have Action Center disabled through Group Policy Settings.

    Is your computer a Home computer or one provided by your employer for your use?

    The last resort huh? But then I would have to reinstall all of my programs and I have a lot.

    Hi tkpc621,

    If you have a Windows 7 disc, you can perform an InPlace Upgrade. This process will reinstall your current Windows installation without effecting your personal data and installed programs.

    **NOTE: It is good practice to make sure you have a recent backup of your personal data and have a way to reinstall your software before completing major troubleshooting steps.
