New Web Application button is disabled in SharePoint 2010
I am having a fresh installation of SharePoint 2010 on my Windows 7 machine, when I tried to create new web application for creating a site collection, but the New Web application icon is disabled/greyed. So for this issue, here is the fix,
Go to control Panel (win + r shortcut key for run textbox and type control)
Click on System and Security
Under “Action Center” section , click on “Change User Account Control settings”
Scroll down the scrollbar to “Never Notify” as shown in below figure
Click on Ok
Restart the system ( This step is necessary)
Now open the central administration as administrator
Now the New Web Application button is enable
Click on System and Security
Under “Action Center” section , click on “Change User Account Control settings”
Scroll down the scrollbar to “Never Notify” as shown in below figure
Click on Ok
Restart the system ( This step is necessary)
Now open the central administration as administrator
Now the New Web Application button is enable
