Better Troubleshooting and Problem Solving
We created Windows 7 to help give you a
Action Center
In previous versions, Windows notifies you that something needs attention on your PC by using
Windows 7 not only helps you solve more problems, but it also helps you solve them on your own schedule. The Action Center, a new, integrated Control Panel experience, is the central place for all tasks and notifications associated with keeping your PC running safely and smoothly. It makes it easier for you to fix problems yourself by providing a new streamlined way to address notifications and manage PC issues, including configuring the User Account Control.
You’ll see fewer notifications on your desktop because the Action Center consolidates alerts from 10 existing Windows features, including Security Center, Problem Reports and Solutions, Windows Defender, Windows Update, Diagnostics, Network Access Protection, Backup and Restore, Recovery, and User Account Control. When Windows 7 needs your attention, you’ll see a new icon in the notifica- tion area. To find out more, click the icon to launch a menu that gives you options to fix the issue immediately or go to the Action Center for more details. If you don’t have time to address the issue immedi- ately, the information you need will be waiting for you the next time you visit the Action Center.
