    That something is really messed up....

    This is what you should get:

    Windows is not activated - Error 0xC004F012 / 0xc0020036

    Hey all!

    So basically, I turned on my PC yesterday as per usual and about half way through using it for the day I noticed a see through "Activate Windows" located on the bottom right, at first I thought maybe it was part of this Wallpaper I recently found online but then noticed it was actually my PC!

    I've had Win10 for ages now, so It wasn't a recent activation, I'd say maybe around 2 years or so.

    So I went to Settings and came across this.

    Then when I clicked Troubleshoot I got this.

    I tried doing some research online to see if I could fix it myself but found nothing specifically relevant.

    The only thing I can think of that I might have done significantly on my PC is that I recently was changing Modems for my Internet Connection, but then reverted back to my previous one I had for years (because the new one was actually worse somehow), not sure if that will help in anyway.

    Thank you! *Smile
