Windows 10: Slui.exe doesn't display menu to change product key.

Did you try what Superfly posted? "slui.exe 4" does nothing when I run it from an admin command prompt? Nothing I can see on screen anyway.

 

So you have my problem but in reverse. Slu1.exe 4 works for me. It pops up the 'Select your country or region' menu. I assume slui.exe 3 works for you?

 

Yes slui.exe 3 does the same thing as running just slui.exe.

 

I ran the advanced Diagnostic test and it came back clean. It ran in about a second so I don't think it is testing much. Just looks like it deals with product keys and such.

If you get slui 4 to run then it will probably get my slui/slui 3 to run. Let me know if you fix your problem and how you did it.

 

I don't actually have a problem per say? I can just go to Settings > Update & security > Activation > Change product key and change my product key the normal way. I do it fairly often actually. I switch from Pro to Education or Enterprise that way without reinstalling. What is the Settings menu slui.exe 4 is supposed to take you too?

 

ADT uses MS built-in diagnostics to test activation... if by 'clean' you mean no tampered items (and no event log errors) then there are non-activation files that are corrupted... running sfc may help to test integrity of those.

BTW: Slui.exe uses multiple switches (including error code checking)

 

slui 4 doesn't work for me either now. slui (and slui 3) take me to new settings which is useless - it just requests a key. I can't figure out how to get to the telephone activation that slui 4 did.

It should take you to a screen like this to do phone activation:







Activate Windows 8 by Phone

It was quietly dropped in 1703 perhaps? It now just does nothing whatsoever.
