  1. Activate Windows appear after have been using windows for 5 years


    Last week, I have seen the Activate Windows sign appears on the bottom right of the screen. I have been using this laptop for almost 5 years and have zero issue on the window license.


    I can't acitive on setting->Window update. It shows Error code:0x80004005 which I googled it but seems too complicate to follow from the genuine window license purchaser.


    However,In the early 2020 I have changed hard-drive to SSD and clone everything from previous hard-drive to new SSD drive. Not sure that 's cause of the problem.

    :)

    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.
