    Is there a solution to me not being able to activate windows 11 home?


    Hey Microsoft, I've been having this problem after I fully data reset my PC due to a trojan where I can't activate my Windows activation key. I've tried troubleshooting and I get the error code "0x80004005". I also tried to use a new Windows 11 home activation key I bought and that didn't work, and I got the error code "0xc0000022". I would show these in a screenshot but for someone, I can't upload the screenshot to this question. I bought this pc from IBUYPOWER about 3 years ago and I tried to use the product key that they gave me but it didn't work, apparently, because the computer came wit

    Problem activating Windows 11 after switching VMs

    Hi there,

    I purchased Windows 11 Home a couple of months ago and installed it on a VirtualBox VM. But VirtualBox was crashing quite a bit so I deactivated Windows 11 using the following commands:

    • slmgr /upk
    • slmgr /cpky
    (as suggested on Redirecting ) and then installed it on a VMWare VM. Problem is, I can't activate Windows on the new VM even though it was deactivated on the old VM. I tried the recommended Troubleshooting Wizard solutions to no available and I couldn't find a Microsoft email address or support number, so I am posting here. Can anyone suggest how to contact Microsoft about this activation issue?

    Thanks,

    Darryl

    PS: I have already deleted the old VM so I can't log back onto it.
