    Windows 10 not activated?


    I upgraded my computer nearly a year ago from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. It has been and is currently working great. On a lark today , I checked My PC properties and it says Windows is not activated!

    What is going on? Everything is working just fine. Wasn't sure if I should click on the link to Activate Windows or if that will create some other problem.

    It is an HP laptop with no hardware changes.

    What should I do?

    Thanks.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

    OK, so i figured it out myself

    Found the logfile in "C:\Windows\Minidump".

    You need the Windows Development Kit to open it and a bit of googling to understand it.

    Found out that a Daemon driver caused an error. Removed Daemon but this didn't solve it. (ps: Daemon itself worked normally).

    I let hibernate my computer again and found another error with sptd2.sys: SCSI Pass Through Direct layer

    More google and ended up on the duplexsecure site. Downloaded the W10 version and voila: problem fixed.

    For the Windows support team: It would be really helpfull if you could pass problems to a more skilled helpdesk who can do more than proposing the standard solutions in case those won't work.

    Cheers

  3. Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

    OK, so I also found out that this occurs when sleepmode (for me after 3 hours) changes into hibernate mode.

    Seems like the going into hibernate and/or starting up from HIbernate results in a shutdown. In safeboot it works perfectly.

    Anyone any idea how I can figure out where it goes wrong. Is there a way to log this (I couldn't find it in bootlog)

    Windows 10 not activated?

    Start by opening a command prompt (admin), right click on the start icon and it is one of the choices in the list. In the window, run:
    Slmgr /dlv

    Post the results here and it might help us figure out what is wrong.

    Well, I checked it again today and now it shows that it is activated. Not sure what was up yesterday. Maybe a glitch in the MS servers?
