  1. Can't Activate Windows


    So a while back I ended up using a piracy app to activate Windows 10. Within the last few weeks, however, I remembered that I didn't have a legitimate copy of Windows after I got a notification that my Windows license would expire soon and decided to fix that. I tried to activate Windows with a legitimate license key, but have received a number of errors. When I run the Windows 10 activation troubleshooting tool I receive an error stating, "We can't activate your copy of Windows. Make sure you're connected to the internet and try again. If you're connected to the internet and continue seeing this problem, contact your system administrator for more information." If I try to activate Windows with the activation key I receive error 0x80070057. Is there any way to activate Windows without needing to fully re-install?


    I have also tried SFC /scannow, DISM restore health, the Tweaking.com Windows repair tool, and various other suggestions I've seen posted online with no success. Is there perhaps anything I missed?

    :)

    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.
