Action Center is a utility in Windows® 7 that checks several security and maintenance-related items on your computer and helps you interpret the computer's overall performance to prevent problematic issues. When using Windows® 7 Action Center, the program will notify you through a message in the notification area on the taskbar. The status of the item in the Action Center will change color to reflect the severity of the message, and an action will be recommended. In this article you will learn how to manage this feature and set the components you want Action Center to check and inform you about.
