    Windows 11 0xc004f211, activation gone, no HW change


    Greetings!Yesterday 05.10.23 i've experienced system hang in game, heared plug/unplug sound. Rebooted PC and all was OK. Today 06.10.23 i've noticed Windows activation error 0xc004f211. No H/W was changed. Probably Windows detected new HW by mistake when system hanged judging by plug/unplug sounds. No clues in Device Manager - no removed devices.What can be done in this situation? I don't want to by new license because of Windows mistake. Can the system be re-scanned again and verified that all components are remain?

    :)

    Windows activation fails after HW change

    I changed my CPU and Motherboard and when I try to activate Windows with my Product Key it fails with error code: 0x803fa060.

    I can't find this error on the Microsoft help page that lists the possible activation errors.

    I didn't link my Microsoft account to the product key before changing HW.

    The troubleshooter also fails activation.
