Windows 10: Updated my bios and windows 11 license is gone

Hi, i update bios to f18c on my gigabyte b760m elite auros ax ddr4. and now my windows license on the device is gone. the error is 0x803F700F: something prevented us from communicating with our activation servers. Wait a few minutes and try again.i have been trying for a day now. and still with errors. when i try to pick the option that i changed device recently and pick the latest one it says unable to activate windows.

Unable to Activate Windows 11 after bios update. Microsoft forcing users to pay for a license for a what was a free update to Windows 11

I can see the same PC online in my list of devices online but the hardware troubleshooter

can't find that device when listing my devices. Something has caused it to lose track of

my already activated Windows 11 license.

I have contacted support and they are refusing to Activate my license after my bios update.

They want proof of purchase after multiple free upgrades to Windows 10 and then to Windows 11

They keep stating something about a global policy change

In essence Microsoft is forcing users to pay for new license after a they were offered a free update to Windows 11.

All I can say where is the lawsuit.
