    Why can`t I use my Windows Key


    Hello, I have reseted my PC and when I go to settings it says I need to activate my Windows. It was activated and working before the reset. Now it says my key is invalid. I did everything that I could find in here but still no good. When I enter the key on Command Prompt it says "Error: 0xC004F050 The Software Licensing Service reported that the product key is invalid"Also when I try to enter the key in settings it says "It looks like the hardware on this device has changed. Make sure you`re connected to the Internet and try again later. 0xc0ea000a" I didn`t change my hardware I just reset m

  3. 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.
