Unfortunately, unless it was added in Windows 10, there is no keyboard
shortcut to get to the action center.
The most likely reason you can't access the action center icon is
because system tray icons get hidden from view if they are inactive for
a period of time. For sighted users there is a button immediately to the
left of the system tray which will temporarily display all the icons in
the system tray. You can get to it by pressing Windows + B to place the
focus on the task bar, then tab to the elevated or user promoted system
tray icons button, but be warned, access to the button is erratic at best.
To get around this go to the control panel, then to the notification
area icons applet. tab around until you find the Always show all icons
and notifications on the taskbar check box and check it, then find the
OK button and press enter. Now all system tray icons will always be
available to you through JAWS.

To All:
I was needing to know something. My wife told me that there is a Action Center
“icon” on my desktop, in the systray. I am running Windows 10, on a Dell laptop
with JAWS 17. I cannot access it myself without sighted assistance, but once in
it, I can navigate around it. Can anyone tell me the keyboard combinations for
gaining access to this? I know how to access the systray icons, but JAWS does
not read the Action Center. Many thanks.
Jerry
