The Action Center—also known as the Notification Center—is located on the far right of the Windows 10 taskbar. This feature helps you easily access your system notifications and gives you quick access to settings. Sometimes, due to technical glitches, the Windows 10 Action Center will be grayed out and won’t open. This will hinder you from accessing the notifications and settings for various apps.
