  1. Windows 10 Settings>Update & Security>Activation failing to work


    So I've been struggling to open the Activation Settings on the Update & Security category. Whenever I click "Activation" the Settings stops working. I've rebooted my computer but it still doesn't work. I've been troubleshooting a lot but it still doesn't work. It just lags out and hangs there. I can't click anything but I can still navigate the cursor.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 fails to update


    When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

    Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

    I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.

    Try this method:
    • First of all from Start Menu, open Settings (Type settings in the search bar and it will appear).
    • locate and select “Update and Security“.
    • in this window, Locate “Advanced Options”. Click on it.
    • In Advanced Options; Click on “Choose How Updates are Delivered“.
    • Turn off Updates from more than one place.

    Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro via "Settings/Update & Security/Activation"?: If I upgrade to Windows 10 Pro from the "settings" menu from Windows 10 home, does the update process remove all my installed software, or does it just install like a Windows Update installing new features without changing my software/settings etc?
