    Ive recently upgraded my CP components including; Mb, Cpu, Ram, PSU,Since upgrading I can run my PC for an hour or so before the windows activation watermark appears and when attempting to activate it from my Microsoft account like I was able to do last time it doesnt allow me to it.

    Creator's Update reaches 40% and the following error message appears Windows could not configure one or more system components. To install Windows, . . .

    Hi,

    This issue happens because of some errors or corruptions in Windows Update components. To fix this kind of issue, we suggest
    Resetting Windows Update components. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Right-click the Start Menu and open Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Run these codes:

      Net Stop bits

      Net Stop wuauserv

      Net Stop appidsvc

      Net Stop cryptsvc

      Ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.bak

      Ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.bak

      Net Start bits

      Net Start wuauserv

      Net Start appidsvc

      Net Start cryptsvc
    • After running these commands, check if your issue is fixed.
    If resetting Windows Update components didn't work too, we suggest you to identify and send us the error. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Open Settings and click on Update & security.
    • Click on Windows Update.
    • Click the Advanced options link.
    • Click the View your update history link.
    • Click the link for the update that failed to install, note the error code and give us the error code.

    We'll be looking forward for your reply.

    Regards.

    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.
