  1. "We can't activate Windows on this device right now."


    I have recently reinstalled Windows because something had happened to the Windows folder earlier that was causing the computer to function improperly. After Windows was reinstalled, I was informed that Windows wasn't activated on my computer, despite my account being a Windows account, and therefore not needing to purchase a digital license. Or at least that's how I think it works. When going to Activation in Settings, the problem was that I "don't have a valid digital license or product key." When looking, I have also noticed that I do not have an activation status, and where it would have been is left blank. When I troubleshooted, the error I got was "We can't activate Windows on this device right now. You can try activating again later or go to the store to purchase genuine Windows." Along with the error code 0x8007056c.


    How do I fix this error? I couldn't find anything about the error code when searching it up, so I decided to ask.

    :)

    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.
