I checked by registry, and you're export does include the default settings.

As a test, run a command in option 1 below in an elevated PowerShell to re-register all apps, and restart the computer when it has finished to see if it may fix the Action Center for you.

Hey Brink
I have applied the command on elavated Powershell as you said.
It is still the same; action center is only flashes for split-seconds.

In that case, see if resetting the quick actions back to default using the method in the tutorial below may help since messing with them is what broke it for you.

If that still doesn't help, then you may need to do a repair install of Windows 10 to fix it without losing anything.

Hi Brink
i tried all the ways but i cant take it back, can you import your HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Quick Actions folder and post or write here for the last chance?

Thanks for all of your replies.

Importing that key from my system wouldn't make any difference for you, but here's a .reg file below exported from my system.

Quick_Actions.reg

Deleting that registry key like in the tutorial below would normally reset your quick actions back to default.

If the above didn't help, then you could try troubleshooting with a clean boot using the method in the tutorial below. This will let you see if Action Center opens while in a clean boot, and troubleshoot to see what is causing it if so.

Thanks Brink, I import the reg file, it created same Quick Actions directory with yours but it doesn't fix my problem as you said.

I used Reset_Action_Center_Quick_Actions_to_default.bat
System doesn't create a new quick actions folder,

I will search for another directories with "Quick Actions" in the registry.

And I will try this and post back.

I think only the clean install will fix this issue :)

@SM03,

Normally, the method in this tutorial will not break Action Center. It just will not work anymore, and will just need to set it back to the default setting.
