Windows 10: "System License Violation" Blue Screen

I was having internet issues the past couple of days where I was not able to access internet at all on my laptop. I contacted HP and they instructed me to perform a Recovery which would allow me to go back and restore my PC to a point in time before the issue started when everything was working fine. However, even though I only went back to a week prior, my Microsoft Edge browser file was apparently deleted. Worse, when I rebooted, I cannot get back to my desktop. When I do this I get message that "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart" when the auto start begins, it goes into Automatic Repair, and then I get another message "Your PC did not start correctly" and again given the option to Restart again, so it is a vicious cycle. There is an "Advanced Option" but I am giving multiple options to choose if I select that and am not sure which one is right one. Can anyone assist? THanks!

windows 10 bluescreen stop code "System License Violation"

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, it doesn't get past the blue screen. I have tried the "startup repair" button offered within these blue pages, but it doesn't fix anything. It repeats that there is a "system license violation".

So, I understand why it won't go beyond this. I'm trying to understand through any logs left on the machine why it thinks I'm violating the license.

 

blue screen system licence violation

Hello Stephen,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

This bug check indicates that the software license agreement has been violated.

Please provide more information to help you better:

• 
  What is the exact error message that you receive?
  
• 
  Did you get any error code?
  
• 
  Have you made any changes to the PC prior to the issue?
  

A blue screen error (also called a stop error) can occur if a problem causes your PC to shut down or restart unexpectedly. When you experience this type of error, you won’t be able to see things like the Start menu or the taskbar on the screen when
your PC is turned on. Instead you might see a blue screen with a message that your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart.

I suggest you to refer the article below to rectify issue related to Blue screen Errors:

If you have any issue with performing the steps in the article, then I suggest you to create an Installation Media and then perform Automatic Repair.

You may use Windows 10 installation disc/USB to perform automatic repair by creating a Media Creation Tool. Use the link below to create the media tool.

Please follow the below steps to perform the Automatic Repair:

Perform the Automatic repair:

a) When your computer starts, wait for the manufacturer logo to check the option for boot menu, it will usually be
F12.

b) The boot menu key might differ with each manufacturer. If you are unable to find the boot menu key, you may refer the user manual.

c) Restart the computer, when the manufacturer's logo is displayed, keep pressing the
Boot menu option key to enter the boot menu and change the boot option to
CD\DVD ROM.

d) After you boot your computer using Windows 8 DVD or System Repair Disc, a black screen appears with gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press any key.

e) Select the correct time and Keyboard type.

f) Click Repair your computer in the lower left corner

g) Click on Troubleshooting, advanced option and then click
Automatic repair.
