Nagging secure center message: "Turn on windows security center service''

[majkinetor]

Exactly as described here along with solution. Happens always.

It happens on boot and at least 2 times a day during uptime which is very annoying.

"Turn on windows security center service" warning

I am currently testing how this snippet works:

sp HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell UseActionCenterExperience 0
sp HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Notifications\Settings NOC_GLOBAL_SETTING_TOASTS_ENABLED 0
mkdir HKCU:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer -ea 0
sp HKCU:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer DisableNotificationCenter 1

without messing with another proposed solution that takes ownership of certain dlls.

Did you have any success?

[majkinetor]

Above code works but it disables notification center totally.

I didn't find solution how to disable just that messages. But if you don't like secure center message, you can do that.

Settings -> System -> Notifications -> Security and Maintenance

Turned the notifications to "Off" there and no popups anymore. I'm on the Anniversary Update.

I've the same issue. Do you think it makes sense, to turn off the notification center by default? I don't know of any apps using it so far. I'm using windows on the desktop only, though it may have its needs on a mobile computer.

I wouldn't turn it off by default, it contains too much stuff, hence there are probably a lot of people needing it.
