  1. Activation Key


    Hi everyone


    I bought a laptop in January, 2nd hand, with Windows 10 Pro. In the last couple of weeks it started coming up constantly with messages about activating Windows 10 Pro. It's not a watermark at the bottom right of my screen. I don't have the activation key, and I've contacted the person who I bought the laptop from and am waiting for a response to see if they have it.

    If they don't, what are my options? As I've just figured out there are some things that are now restricted because my pc isn't activated. I don't want to have to buy a new activation key, it seems stupid to have to fork out more money for it. Any suggestions?

    :)

  2. Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


    Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
    2. Select or click Ease of Access.
    3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
    4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    5. Check if issue is resolved.
    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
