I am trying to configure action centre in Windows 10 but "show app notifications" is greyed out.
It also says, "Some settings are managed by your organisation" but this is a personal laptop.
How to change this ? I've added a screen shot.
How do I remove items seen in the notification + action menu? At first there were only messages, phones, outlook but for some reason my list is growing, from glance, wifi to extras + info(?)
View 6 RepliesExperienced plenty of issues with win 10 installations after upgrades from say WIN 7. The issues are just about all related to the disappearance of MS Edge and the Start Menu.
One should run the SFC /scannow command , followed by the more complicated DISM command and then finally the very complicated powershell command.
Almost no replies are made after one runs the SFC command and even the DISM command and no errors are found.
What should one conclude if the SFC command and the DSIM command report no errors? Secondly what is the best next step in trying to recover from the issue at hand?
Why Show app notification is disable ? And how means some settings are managed by your organization ?
Show picture
How enable this option ?
Auto-play shows in the notification area, but when I click it, it disappears from the menu.
View 6 Repliesi have recently updated to windows 10 and i have the same problem that i had in windows 8. I've never been able to solve it.

View 2 RepliesHow do I show the power icon and volume icons on the taskbar notification area?
I have tried properties - customize - turn system icons on or off
But the power/battery and volume icon are greyed out.
Win 10 pro (upgraded from Win 7 Pro)
Since upgrading to Win10 I've noticed as in the title, my action centre won't play any sounds or toast banner notify me at all. When I get an email in gmail, I'll see the icon in the taskbar go white, but absolutely no sounds or anything.
I've checked the settings and they're turned on, so I'm at a loss at what could cause it. Quiet hours are off as well.
Since this morning my PC has been playing up. After logging in, most of the icons on the desktop appear blank, with many new ones without the name. I cannot open anything, right click on the desktop only shows View, Sort By and Refresh. I cannot open the start menu, I managed to run explorer exe but cannot open any folders on any of the drives. The services loaded on startup are also limited (no antivirus for example) and a peculiar thing I noticed is that the CPU is constantly running at 43-44% for no apparent reason.
View 1 RepliesI Windows 7 I had additional actions in the Explorer Right Click Menu, such as Edit with Photoshop for image files. I'm fairly sure I added these manually, but I can't remember how. I'm also curious why they have gone.
There was a dialog box to enter them as I recall, with a command string ending in %1.
Is there a way to add these in W10, preferably an easier way?
I have been having this rendering issue for more than 3 months now and it persists after several OS re-installs.
Resolving this problem is of extreme importance to me since many of the programs I rely on are affected. Reverting to an older Windows version is not an option for me.
Affected programs:
Mocha Pro 4.1.3, IDA Pro 6.8, VLC Player & qBitTorrent (all versions)overall countless new and old programs affected
How to reproduce:
I can reproduce it successfully every timeMove the mouse from one sub-menu item that expands (SS1) to another (SS2) for a few times (usually around 10 is enough)It can also happen by interacting with any other UI elements in the program (although takes a few more clicks)
SS1:
SS2:
Facts:
Mouse stops highlighting any buttons or menu items in the whole program - if you hover over anything that's supposed to have a hover action (like these menus) - nothing will happen, as if the mouse isn't thereClicks will also only work in less than 10% of all scenarios'Ghost' menus (only the shadows of the drop-down menus are visible) will as well start appearing from some hover actionsUI of the affected program suddenly becomes very slow, laggy and choppy when the bug is triggeredEvery program effected by the bug will not exit properly no matter what and the process will stay running forever, unless closed via task managerThe only solution is to restart the program
Troubleshooting done:
old versions of the same softwarenew versions of the same softwareall compatibility settingsall possible integrated and dedicated GPU drivers (from both laptop manufacturer websites & official websites)fully disabling Windows animationsre-installing my computer 3 times
My guess (as of 4th of January, 2016):
I think that the hovering effect of the mouse gets 'stuck' in one place (the place where the glitch initially occurs) and it stays there forever, despite the movement of the actual mouse.
Screenshots (just a few of the many problems):

I have poor eyesight and have setup high contrast to see things better in windows 10.Also set the font to 10 point bold and tried the 125% setting.In windows 7 I did not have this issue, I used the classic theme, and just set the fonts all bold, no problem. I think I set the DPI also to a larger setting.
But I have a problem setting up personalization settings when it comes to colors now.It does not seem to affect windows apps already installed on the computer, but .3rd party programs mostly. One in mind is the information tab in the AMD Catalyst Drivers for instance.When I open this up the background is white and the text is an unreadable light gold color.In general if I set my theme to a normal without high contrast most of the text in all apps and programs is a light gray color, which I can barely read. I've played with my ASUS monitor settings some and been able to get more contrast.
My system icons icons are greyed out, like Volume and Power, so I can not enable them.After setup they work just fine, then they disappear. It is either caused by my settings or: I wonder, when custom power and sound card drivers gets installed, they get lost?
SFC scan does nothing. By playing with settings and closing explorer.exe, volume icon appeared and stated, that there is no audio service running, when I moved the slider, the message and red X disappeared, but after restarting explorer.exe, it was gone again. My sound card audio service, Windows audio are running. Seems this problems happens: System Icons Greyed Out for Windows 10 - Microsoft Community
I've been using Windows 10 for a few weeks now and I was looking to get Cortana to work. However, Cortana tells me that I need to allow it to access contacts. I clicked settings and I saw that all the settings were on, but were grayed out.
When I take a look at some of the other settings, some are also grayed out and some are not. When I go to the general tab, I get this:
Sometimes if I look through the privacy settings, the settings app just crashes for no reason without warning and I'm left confused and unable to enable Cortana.
I am running Windows 10 on my Dell Desktop. I am trying to download some apps via the Microsoft Store.
I am getting the "Free" button (to download) greyed over. It is happening with every app.

View 9 RepliesI have a brand new Dell Inspiron 7348 2 in 1 on Windows 10. I just noticed today that it would not auto rotate and that the option for Rotation Lock in Action Center and in the Display Setting is greyed out. My computer had all the latest updates and I just updated the drivers and the problem still persists. The problem did not occur 12/6/15 so I thought that one of the updates since then had been the cause. I uninstalled them one by one to no avail. On a possibly similar note, when I boot up, airplane mode is automatically enabled and Action Center is in Quiet Hours, even though it doesn't show it. I can resolve those both by clicking their respective icons but thought that it might me related to my current problem with rotation lock.
View 7 RepliesI was trying to upgrade from windows 7 to windows 10 and "Keep personal files only" grayed out. I dont want to do a clean install.
View 1 RepliesI upgraded on 7/29 and none of my Store Apps work. Store app is grayed out with a download arrow. I have run sfc /scannow and DISM restore health commands. There are no issues. I saw a command to fix the issue in another part of the forum, which I ran and completed but still no joy. That command:
Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "C:Program FilesWindowsAppsMicrosoft.WindowsStore_2015.8.3.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbweAppxManifest.xml"
I have gone though Brink's excellent Tutorials on re-registering Store and all apps. When reregistering Store, attachment "Error Store Reg" gives the details.
When I try and re-register all apps, attachment "StoreAppReReg-error" shows the errors.
When I run wsreset.exe, I get the error "ms-windows-store:PurgeCaches. The application cannot be started. Try reinstalling the application to fix the problem". I have been reluctant to do this in case I lose StoreApp altogether after removal and cannot install again.
I can't activate the power and volume icon because there gray. I've tried the regedit method. The icons came back but disappeared at the next booth. Is there a fix to that problem?

View 4 RepliesI have set my external hard drives to performance mode, and recognize the warning that I won't be able to simply unplug them. Basically, I have to use the little green safely remove hardware icon. Nothing new. In Windows 10 however, when an external drive is attached, and I go to eject it using the safely remove hardware, they are always grayed out and I'm unable to do so. Is there another setting I need to do, or is Windows 10 saying that even with the performance boxes checked, I can still remove drives without "safely removing them."
