    My windows 10 isn't activated?


    When I open the system info utility it says my copy of windows isn't activated... this is confusing as I thought Windows 10 was free due to me already having 8.1?

    Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

    OK, so i figured it out myself

    Found the logfile in "C:\Windows\Minidump".

    You need the Windows Development Kit to open it and a bit of googling to understand it.

    Found out that a Daemon driver caused an error. Removed Daemon but this didn't solve it. (ps: Daemon itself worked normally).

    I let hibernate my computer again and found another error with sptd2.sys: SCSI Pass Through Direct layer

    More google and ended up on the duplexsecure site. Downloaded the W10 version and voila: problem fixed.

    For the Windows support team: It would be really helpfull if you could pass problems to a more skilled helpdesk who can do more than proposing the standard solutions in case those won't work.

    Cheers

    Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

    OK, so I also found out that this occurs when sleepmode (for me after 3 hours) changes into hibernate mode.

    Seems like the going into hibernate and/or starting up from HIbernate results in a shutdown. In safeboot it works perfectly.

    Anyone any idea how I can figure out where it goes wrong. Is there a way to log this (I couldn't find it in bootlog)

    You cannot get the free upgrade by doing a clean install. You must perform an upgrade at least once before you can clean install.

    My windows 10 isn't activated?

    Please indicate how.

    It is for sure that if you have not bought a new copy of Windows 10 but instead used the free upgrade that activation will not stick to a clean install. You must first have done the upgrade then you can blow away the upgrade install.

    So if you have a workaround for that, please indicate how or post the link.

    The method describe will result in your Windows 10 ceasing to function eventually- once Microsoft gets reports of those being used that way. The keys will be blacklisted.

    Also, note the date on the so called expert's computer. 17.July.2015 ...
