    Cannot activate after motherboard bios update


    My motherboard bios had an update specifically related to windows 11. Unfortunately it's now telling me my hardware changed and I am unable to activate windows due to not being able to reach the server. I'm sure it's some other error but that's what windows gives me.Spent long time googling checking my windows services etc etc nothing worked.

    Should I update bios?

    Lol, there is still so many myths about flashing bios and people actually believe in them. People, this is 2018, not 1998, bios updates are easy and when file is provided by manufacturer themselves then they do RMA gpus, motherboards, mice and all other devices which failed during flashing.
