    Windows is not activated following "reset this pc"

    My latest rebuild was done using:
    • Reset this PC.
    • Don't keep files.

    I now see the conflicting output as show in post #16.

    Also I have a watermark on my desktop. Is this normal?

    Your Windows license expires on...

    Hi Hayurin,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I would suggest you to check which version of Windows is activated.

    Follow the below steps.


    • Go to settings.

    • Click on update and recovery.

    • Click on Activation.

    • And check which version of Windows is activated.

    If it shows as insider preview then i suggest you to contact Microsoft Phone support as they have the right resources to activate windows 10.

    Thank you.

    Windows is not activated following "reset this pc"

    Yup, Trusted Installer permissions can only be reset when Windows is not running (i.e. from a USB/WinPE type boot - a restore point prior to the issue will work.

    BTW... it's not just sppsvc that gets corrupted, but it's dependencies as well (like RPC)

    Agree, it is weird that digital licences are handed out even for Win 10 keys...
