Windows 10: "Activate Windows" appeared on the bottom right of my pc

Hi,Randomly noticed my windows is not active. I lost my Microsoft product key, so I tried using PowerShell and the cmd line to find it. However, my product key is gone. This occurred after the latest update of windows! I am not sure why this happened as I have not changed machines, and I purchased windows 11 about 9 months ago. Please help! Thanks,

:)

 

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.

Windows 8 'Irrelevant' For PC Users

Windows 8 interface appears to be for average consumers - not techies.

Its a step in the right direction.

[On a seperate note, I think Win7 will be a favorite for enthusiasts for a long time to come]
