    My Windows is suddenly not Activated?


    Been using this computer for months with no issue, but ive suddenly got a "Activate Windows" Watermark at the bottom left.
    Is there a known reason as to what caused this? Is there a solution?

    :)

    For verification, now you are saying it isn't activated and Microsoft won't help you?

    Windows Update suddenly hangs?

    Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

    I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?
