    Windows 10 Pro keeps deactivating


    I am running Windows 10 Pro on a Dell XPS 8930. I logon using my Microsoft account. The computer is on a peer to peer network with all machines runnign Windows 10 Pro and all logged in to Microsoft Account. Only this machine is having problems.


    Over the last several days, I have been receiving reports that Windows is not activated. If I use the Troubleshooter, it reactivates saying that my activation is linked to my Microsoft account. All seems well, but a couple of hours later, the deactivation will again occur. This all seems to have started around the beginning of September.

    :)
