Windows 10: My windows got randomly deactivated today for the first time in years

The only thing I did is update my adobe flash and my avast anti virus.


I used my key to activate my windows again and it worked.

However this is very disturbing. I've never had to do this before.


What can I do to ensure I don't have to do this again? Because we all know you can only activate or better said "rearm" your windows very few times before your key is turned invalid.

Date and Time Year is 3015 and can't change to 2015.
