Windows 10: No longer activated after thr2 update?

I was activated before the th2 update. Even after I installed it. Today, I just did a reboot, and I login and now it says I'm no longer activated?

It gives me a big error in red saying "Windows can't activate right now. Try activating later. If that doesn't work contact support. Error 0xC004F012"

I hit the activate button and nothing happens.

What gives? Anyone else having this issue?

:)

 

no longer activated after motherboard change. activation troubleshooter not connecting

i got a new motherboard today, and saw the not activated warning after the initial boot. clicked the activation troubleshooter to see if it would fix it, but i just received this message. I'm not sure what to do at this point.

It depends on how Windows 10 was originally configured on your computer.

If its a full retail store bought license online or offline, it is transferable to a new computer or motherboard.

If its the free upgrade from a retail store bought Windows 7 or Windows 8 license, it is transferable to a new computer or motherboard.

If its the free upgrade from a OEM preinstalled Windows 7 or Windows 8 license, it is NOT transferable to a new computer or motherboard.

I'm getting issues with the update, but they're not activation related.

Have you tried forcing an activation check? Launch command prompt with admin rights, and type Code: slmgr.vbs –rearm[/quote] Then reboot your computer. Hopefully that should work. *Smile

 

Then reboot your computer. Hopefully that should work. *Smile[/quote] I just did a restore of my whole PC to before the activation issues started. If the issue comes back I'll try.
