    Windows 10 Activation Error 0xC0000022 Please Read for More Info


    Hi, first time posting on here but I have a lot of experience with computers, software and hardware, but this is completely baffling me


    The main issue that I want to resolve is to simply activate Windows 10 Professional Edition, as since changing most of my hardware, I have been unable to do so


    I have tried:

    - Activating with multiple Windows 10 keys, and refunded them all

    - Activating with keys for Windows 7 and 8 before the "update" that prevented that possibility, didn't fix anything

    - Activating via multiple Microsoft accounts, including the original one I was logged into before the hardware changes

    - Clicking Troubleshoot, this is what outputs 0xC0000022


    I've looked into the error code, and it seems to be caused by the Software Protection service being unable to start at all. I've tried all sorts of methods to start it:

    - Via "services.msc" and pressing "start"

    - This returns Error Code 5, even though I am the administrator

    - I have also tried this with other and new admin accounts, no dice

    - Via an Elevated Command Prompt net start sppsvc

    - This also returns Error Code 5

    - Copying another trusted sppsvc.exe file into System32

    - This leads onto another issue, as described next


    In order to try to work out what was causing Error Code 5 specifically, I checked the permissions on sppsvc.exe, but found that I had read-only permissions. I changed these, but met the same result. I also seem to be locked to read-only on the entirety of the Windows, and subsequently System 32, folder.


    Additional info:

    - This has been happening for a few months now, ever since I changed my CPU, Motherboard, RAM and all cooling fans

    - I have changed the operating system for this PC in the past, from 10 to 8.1, and am currently dual-booting Win10 and Ubuntu

    - If any other information is needed, feel free to ask, but please read this post thoroughly before asking as I don't wish to repeat myself unless clarification is required

    :)

    Window 10 Activation Error 0xc0000022 after Recovery

    Hey Community

    I was running Window 8.1 and got upgraded to Window 10. About 2 weeks later my Start Menu button and all buttons in the action center stopped working so i performed a reset on my PC using the system settings and chose the option to leave my personal files.

    When windows reinstalled again, it said that i need to activate my copy of Windows and a watermark "Activate Windows" is present in the bottom left hand corner of the screen.

    When i click the Activate button in Update & Security > Activation setting page, it states Windows cant activate. Try again later.

    It gives the error of 0xC004F012. However, using Produkey by Nirsoft, i was able to locate my product key and it is the same (the last 5 digits as the rest is hashed) as the value that the page shows me under "Your Product Key Info" as *****-8HVX7

    Using that product key i get the error of 0xc0000022 "Error Installing Product Key"

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    Casey

  3. Windows Application Error 0xc0000022

    Hello Jon,

    A corrupted system file is one of the possible reasons why you get this Windows application error when attempting to open a PDF file. Given that, we highly suggest performing the following methods to isolate and troubleshoot this issue.

    Method 1: Run DISM

    The DISM may help you to fix some Windows corruption errors. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Right-click the Start Menu and select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Run this command: DISM.EXE /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    • If the operation is completed successfully, close the command prompt and check if your issue has been fixed.

    Method 2: Run System File Checker

    System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Right-click the Start Menu and select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Run this command: SFC /scannow
    • This may take several minutes to finish. If Command Prompt shows
      Verification 100% complete, close the command prompt and check if your issue has been fixed.

    You may also consider checking the suggestions posted by Mike_Keys in this
