Windows 10: Win10 Properties not activating on any operation

following extensive research - it appears win10 win8 ad win7 has a problem with the properties function ceasing to work as far back as 2016 or earlier


apart from rebuilding WIn10 from a formatted disc - does anyone know the reg edit code to simply switch properties back into activation mode I cannot belive there is not a very simple cure.


Noting update to 1903 also seems elusive on my PC.. suggestions other than complete rebuild appreciated

Activation options for Win10 with instant clones

We have a secure (no internet access) lab environment setup to test and validate a VMWare VDI deployment of Win10 clients.

Our issue is activation of the Win10 clients as they require re-activation every time we logoff and back on because we are using instant clones.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to resolve this? Here are the options we are considering and issues as we understand them:

• Setup a KMS server
  • Requires a Volume license, which is doable
  • Documentation says we must have a minimum of 25 hosts, we don' have that in our lab
• Use our MSDN account
  • No support for Win10 KMS license
  • No support for MKS activation
• Manually activate each time
  • Gonna spend a lot of time on the phone
  • Win10 has no grace period so machines are crippled w/o activation

Anyone have a thought or suggestions? I'm hoping I missed something.

Thanks
