Windows 10: Windows 10 Activation Failed

So I recently built a new PC and downloaded Windows 10 Home on it. I bought an activation key off of the Microsoft Store and it worked for maybe 15-20 minutes until I restarted the PC to install a driver. The next time I booted up it said Windows was no longer activated: "It looks like the hardware on this device has changed. Make sure you're connected to the internet and try again later. Error Code: 0xC0EA000A"I haven't changed anything in the pc, and I have been at this for 2 days now, so I'm not sure why it still won't work. Also I can ensure I am connected to the internet.

Windows 10 fails to update


When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
