  1. Sudden Windows Activation Issues


    Hello all,

    I have been using this computer for about a year now ever since I first built it. I bought a legitimate windows activation key from my local Best Buy and it was working up until recently. I restarted my computer a week or two ago and ever since, it has had the "activate windows" watermark in the bottom right corner. I went into settings to update it, but it says

    "We can't activate Windows on this device as we can't connect to your organization's activation server. Make sure you're connected to your organization's network and try again. If you continue having problems with activation, contact your organization's support person. Error code: 0x8007232B"

    I am able to use the internet and do all of my normal tasks, so I believe the internet is working, and nothing has changed with the internet situation at my home. This is a personal computer, and I do not know what organization I would necessarily be a part of, so I am at a loss. It might be that my computer sees my school as the organization because I have my school Microsoft account logged in alongside my personal account, but I am not sure, and, if it is, I have no idea how to fix it now that my school has been shut down for the coronavirus outbreak. It mentioned going to "my organization's support person" but I have no idea who that is. Has anyone else had an issue with being associated with an "organization" on your personal computer, or does anyone know how to deal with this issue?

    :)

  2. ACTIVATION ISSUE

    Hi,

    Activation issues with Windows 10 devices are usually caused due to some hardware changes. For us to provide an effective resolution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • What changes have you made to your devices before this issue occurred?
    • Are your computers connected to a domain?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest visiting these links. These can be used as a reference on how to activate Windows 10:


    We are looking forward to your response.

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


    Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
    2. Select or click Ease of Access.
    3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
    4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    5. Check if issue is resolved.
    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
