  1. Did My Activation Key Block Windows Updates? How Can I Fix This


    I received an activation key from my friend and activated my system, but I encountered a major issue. I can no longer receive any new updates. Windows Update shows an error message saying: "Your organization manages some settings" and "Your organization has set certain policies to manage updates." I tried everything, but nothing worked.I have now downloaded the Windows 11 Installation Assistant to install the system, and during the device check to determine if Windows 11 can be installed, I received this message.What should I do now? Should I grant it administrator permission and proceed with

    Activation key blocked (fixed, for me)

    Key Activation Error 0xC004C003, as usual. It appears to be a generic key, so why the problem with activation at all

    Upgraded from 8.1, via Windows Update now can't activate 10.

    "Error details" - in short - says, activation server has determined the key is blocked.

    Blocked?

    Really?

    Why?
     
  3. FIXED!! Windows 7 sp1 never ends searching for updates

    Gets worse every day, guys.
    Yesterday I had to re-install a Win7 x86 on a very old Dell laptop, and even with all the fixes I listed earlier, it took over 12 hours to update (had to restart several dozen times, because some updates kept failing)!
    Last year x86 version was the only one that did not hang during the update process, and did not suffer from high CPU load and memory usage.
    My legit (and unused) Windows 7 key also failed to activate by internet and by phone: I had to go through 2 call redirects and 20 minutes of talking to M$ tech support, instead of simply clicking "Activate" button.

    R.I.P. Windows 7... *Cry :cry:

      , then select Settings > Update & security > Activation.
    • Select Go to Store, and check to see if a valid license is available for your device. If a license isn't available, you'll need to buy Windows from the Store.

      Note
      • This only applies if you haven't made changes to the hardware for your device.

    or you could hack it with a crack but please note this is always risky and you don't know what's in the hack
