Windows 10: Activation Error

Hello:


About 2 years ago, I purchased a Dell Alienware Aurora-R4 from Dell that had Windows 10 home edition. My system did an update 2 days ago and every since then I have a message at the bottom left of my screen that says Activate Windows. My computer came with Windows 10 home edition installed.


I have NOT made any hardware changes and my build is 17763.437.


When I open Settings and go to activation I see activation Error Code: 0XC004F012. When I click trouble shoot, it the systems displaces a rotating circle as its doing something then returns about 15mins or so that it couldn't either connect to the Activation server or that there was an error requiring me to call Microsoft. The internet is connected to the computer - it's this same computer that I am writing this message.


The error message instructed me to call 1-800-642-7676, which I did and was on hold for 1 hour and 28 minutes according to my time on my iPhone. I gave up an decided to write this message, Everything has been fine for the last couple years and this all changed on this last update.


How do I fix this problem? Can I roll back the update? how do I do that? Is there a number I can call that doesn't have a hour+ wait time to talk to someone?

:)

 

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

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.
