Windows 10: Unable to activate Windows on this device

My Microsoft account is linked to digital license on my old device.

When I created Windows 10 on a new device, I chose Windows 10 professional and then logged in to my microsoft account, but after I run the Activation troubleshooter, I found out that my new device cannot be activated.

Later, I discovered that my microsoft account only had a digital license for the home version of Windows 10 on the old device, so I changed the Windows 10 version of the new device to the home version, but still failed to activate Windows 10 through troubleshooting. When I click "Recently changed hardware for this device", I can only select the old device to reactivate Windows 10. The activation page shows "Cannot activate Windows on this setting Error code: 0x803FABBB"

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.
