    Once again this garbage software is throwing a wrench in the works !I own over a half dozen copies ....legitimate , registered and paid for copies of windows 11 . The latest windows 11 problem involves ...AS USUAL ...a unwanted or needed **** "update" which left my copy of windows not activated .Attempts to activate only end up with "server not available" nonsense .Once again this particular copy of windows is three years old and was activated long ago .after the last **** worthless "update" it went not active , leaving me without the ability to activate .

    My PC suddenly says its not activated

    For verification, now you are saying it isn't activated and Microsoft won't help you?

    My PC suddenly says its not activated

    So you have a clean install and is activated?
    Why are we on about what happened on the old install? It was most likely damaged.
