    Windows 10 Pro Random deactivation.


    So recently I was just playing my game you know, and windows was updating in the background, then suddenly my game crashed and I go to the notifications tab and I see something like "windows isn't activated" or something like that so I go into settings and I see that my windows isn't activated...

    So the Activate Windows overlay is now at the bottom right staying there..

    Just to clarify.. before windows deactivated I swapped my motherboard but I don't know if that can cause any issue.. 'cause I was logged in my Microsoft account and as I said that happened after windows updated, so I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to find my key or if it's just an update issue. Anyway, thanks!

    :)
