dcoaster Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 On a fresh installed copy of Win 7 RC 7100, I noticed that the Action Center takes a while to start up and sometimes doesn't appear in the taskbar icons area for a few minutes. I found this to be the case on both my physical PC and virtual PC. Is anyone else seeing this? If I recall correctly, this happened in an earlier build in between beta and RC and was fixed somewhere around 7048/7057 and now seems to be back.

lee31 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 The action centre only appears on the taskbar if there's action to be taken and it takes a few minutes for it to pick up any issues that require action which is why it takes a few minutes to appear. If it doesn't appear at all then there's no action to be taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcoaster Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 That's not entirely true. Right now, both of them have zero actions that need to be taken, but the icon is still visible in the system tray. In 7068/7077, they appeared much quicker.

ShelbyGT350 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I am not seeing this problem on my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, I got mine from Microsoft. I do not mean to be rude but it might be your copy of Windows seven if it was downloaded from another source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee31 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I take it all back. You are indeed correct. I don't know why but it happens to me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcoaster Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Unfortunately, this is still an issue in build 7127. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surrealvortex Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I think its start is delayed in order to avoid startup slowdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ba'al Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 You could open the taskbar properties, click on "Customise" for the notification area, set it up to always show the Action Center icon and see if it's any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lannister Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 The Security Centre service is set to "Automatic (Delayed Start)" by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan4077 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I got this problem: Game is running in software rendering mode...Hardware acceleration is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow game performance. Make sure you have the latest video card driver installed and that hardware acceleration is turned on...i got a RADEON ATI 9200...the hardware accel is full blast...and idk if it is just laggy WMP...but that sucks too...wtf do I do?!
