Hi, I'm using Windows 2008 R2 and I want to change the message setting in action center. When i accessed the setting by Control Panel -> Action Center -> Change Action Center Settings, some of the options are gray and unavailable. Does anyone know what's the problem? Thanks.

Since installation, have you ever checked on said settings before and were they not grayed out? and please specify which options are grayed out. Thanks!http://www.cesabarre.com/

Options that are greyed out are usually set by group policies. Have you checked if this is the case?

No, it seems that they are gray from OS was installed. All security message options except "User account control" are gray.

I have checked the group policies of local securities. It seems no entry grant the corresponding authority.

Have you tried running rsop.msc? It will show you the final result of all policies applied to your user and computer.

Yes. I cannot see anything unusual. Do you know which policy might control the options? Thanks.
