Windows 10: Updated Bios and Microsoft deactivated my Windows 11 Pro License,

After I updated my motherboard BIOS Microsoft deactivated my legal purchased WIN11 Pro 23H2 licence. My legal copy of WIn11 displays Activate Windows Go to settings to activate Windows. I cannot activate Windows.It had been working previously as an activated copy of Win11. I have contacted support but still awaiting a response :I am very disappointed that updating the motherboard BIOS deactivates Windows 11 & can see there are other people complaining about this.Microsoft you need to reactivate my copy of Win!!Kind regardsRobert

Windows 11 Pro deactivated after BIOS update

Hi,

My problem is that Windows 11 Pro deactivated itself after I updated my motherboard (MSI Z790 Carbon Wi-fi) BIOS. I updated it from 7D89v17 to 7D89v18. I haven't done any hardware changes so it should be still active. Troubleshooting doesn't help. I have been using local account so my current device is not listed on my Microsoft account. I also tried to use my Windows 10 Pro OEM activation key in the Change Product key section but it also fails. Previous BIOS updates worked fine. I have opened couple of service requests in Windows Get Help to get that agent to call me, but I haven't heard anything yet.

BIOS update should not ever break Windows activation!!!
