  1. Activation error after running Windows Update


    Hello, I've copied almost the exact message from another userI built a desktop computer roughly 13 months ago and purchased windows 11 to install on it. My device has never used windows 10. Today, I got a pop-up saying that my windows wasn't activated. When I followed that pop-up to Settings > System > Activation and clicked Troubleshoot, it gave me "We weren't able to activate windows on this device". Windows apparently can't find my product key.I updated my OS yesterday and logged on as usual today. A couple of hours after I logged on, the pop-up appeared. I updated yesterday and aft

  2. Windows 10 Activation Error: 0xC004F034

    Hi Greg,

    This error code is usually caused by a problem with the product key. For better assistance, we would like to clarify how you got the Windows 10 Pro? Is it supplied by a company?

    As an initial troubleshooting step, we suggest that you run the Activation troubleshooter and try activating Windows 10 Pro again. To run the Activation troubleshooter, follow these steps:

    • Click the Start button and select the Settings
      icon.
    • Choose Update & Security from the list.
    • Select Activation in the left pane of the window.
    • Click Troubleshoot.

    If your Windows 10 Pro is supplied by a company, we recommend that you get in touch with your organization's support for assistance with the activation.

    We'll be waiting to your reply.

    Windows 10 will not activate Error code 0x803F7001

    Possibly there can be the problem with Microsoft activation Server, so your Windows 10 is not activated. In this scenario, you need to wait and verify if it is the issue from Microsoft’s side. But if you are getting error code 0x803f7001, you can also try these steps:

    1. Open Settings app. Then go to Update and security > Activation screen > Change product.
    2. Type your Windows edition product key and click Next.
    3. You’ll get We couldn’t activate Windows error message.
    4. Retry steps 1-3 then type your 25-characters unique product key.
    5. Wait for the process to complete, Windows 10 is activated.
    Hope something helps this problem

    Windows Activation Error Code 0xc004f050

    Hi.

    My name is Edward M.

    I hope to help.-

    Before performing these steps, check the date and time of your computer sometimes the downloads produce errors due to the configuration of the system, and once updated or purchased the update of the date, time and time zone where you are, try these steps to
    solve activation errors:

    1. Confirm that the device is up to date and running Windows 10, version 1607 or later. Learn to update Windows 10.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-do/help/4027667

    2. Use the Activation Problem Solver to solve simple errors. See the following instructions for more details.

    3. If the error continues, review the following list of error codes and follow the suggested steps to resolve it.

    4. Make sure the error has not changed. Sometimes, when you run or try to activate the Activation Troubleshooter, they change the error code and the message. If you have changed, look for the new code below and follow the recommended steps.
