Action Center is an informative tool that keeps displaying the remarkable activities and events that occur in the operating system from time to time. When there are messages to be displayed in the Action Center, its icon that is present in the notification area at the bottom right corner of the screen notifies the users about them.

The messages that are displayed in the Action Center are important and you must pay attention to them and take appropriate actions as needed whenever you see any of them.
