Hi,

When I press Win + A and open Action Center, it shows empty panel. Only this panel is empty. I have powertoys installed on my system. It is not graphics driver issue, restarting explorer does not help. I re-register components via:

Get-AppxPackage | % { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml" -verbose }

also did not help.

Any idea?

    Hi Ali KIZIL,
    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. I'm happy to help.

    Your system may have corrupted files, please use these commands with Command Prompt (Run as Administrator) to scan:

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow

    Otherwise, you may directly perform an In-place upgrade.

    Disclaimer: Let’s try performing an in-place install or in-place upgrade which will refresh your Windows files and operating system without removing files or applications. That being said, we always recommend that if you have important data, you should back it up before making large system changes. If you want to back up your data first, please do so. Once you are done backing up, you can follow the steps in the following guides: How to run In-place upgrade in Windows 11 - Microsoft Community

    I hope that above information is helpful to you.
