I updated my motherboard's BIOS along with the Intel Microcode update [https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-Z790I-EDGE-WIFI/support#bios] and Windows 11 Pro refuses to activate. Troubleshooting gives me: "We weren't able to activate Windows on this device."I can select "I changed hardware on this device recently" and I get an option to select the correct device, and hit "Activate". I get: "We can't reactivate Windows on this device. Try again later."I purchased Windows 11 Pro from the Microsoft Store and I don't want to have to purchase it again.

Intel microcode update

my pc is out of Support in HP but my windows is still supported and my cpu is still supported so it's microsoft responsibility to deliver intel microcode updates as it delivered microcode updates to other chips.

Right now windows loads an old version of microcode into processor and It's microsoft responsibility to load the new microcode since they made themselves responsible for delivering drivers and every manufacturer says that windows 10 drivers will be delivered
through windows updates

OR they can at least make a tool for us to update microcode but I'm sure they won't!!

 

Intel microcode update

it can also be done within OS. Actually windows loads microcode but it is not the latest one and according to this MS article MS released
updates for only a few CPUs. So why didn't they release for the others

You can grab it directly from intel here for almost any OS other than windows (note that its date is 3/12/2018)

I'm not depending on hp because I know they won't release BIOS updates. Even if they release that won't be before a year!

 

Intel microcode update

The microcode updates in question are developed by Intel, not Microsoft. Microsoft is just the delivery boy. Don't shoot the messenger. It's Intel that hasn't provided the update that you're looking for.
