    "Activate Windows"


    What the heck is going on? On my monitor appears a white notice:

    "Activate Windows

    Go to Settings to activate Windows"


    Where does that come from? Going to Settings and trying to click on Activate Windows does not work!! Troubleshoot comes up with a message to install

    "Windows 10 N" (Hooh).


    Since the installation of 1809 and before, every day something else is going on. What kind of people at Microsoft are causing these problems. I thought the people at MS are all studied academics (bachelor/masters degrees). Does not seem so. That is pure sloppiness what they are showing.


    What can be done to get rid of this stupid message. My PC IS PROPERLY ACTIVATED SINCE OVER A YEAR.

    :)

    Unlocked Realtek HD Audio Drivers Windows 7 & 8 (With Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive)

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    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.
