    "Activate Windows" Shows up after years of owning PC, troubleshooter doesn't work


    Hiya!After years of using this PC with no issues and with a legitimate copy of windows I am having the "Activate Windows" watermark showing up. I haven't changed any major hardware components, just added an SSD a few weeks ago. The problem started today.In the activation section of settings, I have the error code 0xC004F012When running the activation troubleshooter, I get the error code 0xc0000022 - before running a cumulative update I got the code 0x80010105I've tried these steps: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-activation-error-0xc004f012/87b10dfb-d378-42dc-82

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

  3. Activation of Windows 10 Pro doesn´t work

    Hallo, i can´t activate my windows 10 Pro (free upgrade from windows 7);

    Info: 0xC0EA000A

    Manual activation doesn´t work either.

    Important (i think): I had to re-install windows 10 (3 or even 4 times). because I had massive problems with "Start and Cortana Issues".

    I hope, I don´t have to search the old product key.

    PS. Yes, Windows 7 was genuine.

    Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.
