Windows Activation error code 0x80004005

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you receive an error code 0x80004005, after upgrading from Windows 10 1803 to 1909. I’ll help you with this issue.



However, please let us know:

• Did Windows 10 come pre-installed on the computer?
  
• Were you using a Microsoft account to sign in to the computer earlier?
  
• Was there any hardware changes made on the computer prior to this issue?
  

I would suggest you to try running the activation troubleshooter and see if that helps. Refer the steps mentioned in the article

Using the Activation troubleshooter.



If you have a product key, try using it to activate Windows. Refer the section

Windows 10 will not activate Error code 0x803F7001

Possibly there can be the problem with Microsoft activation Server, so your Windows 10 is not activated. In this scenario, you need to wait and verify if it is the issue from Microsoft’s side. But if you are getting error code 0x803f7001, you can also try these steps:

1. Open Settings app. Then go to Update and security > Activation screen > Change product.
2. Type your Windows edition product key and click Next.
3. You’ll get We couldn’t activate Windows error message.
4. Retry steps 1-3 then type your 25-characters unique product key.
5. Wait for the process to complete, Windows 10 is activated.

Hope something helps this problem
