  1. Windows activation failure after reset


    Our computer had a drive failure that caused us to completely reset windows. After the reset was done the activate windows text appeared in the bottom right. When I go to reactivate windows it gives no error code and acts like it is activated. But in the activation text in the activation tab, where it is supposed to say if it is activated, its just blank. I have a screenshot linked below. I have been living with this for about a year and windows tech support doesn't seem to help. We have since done a processor change from and i3 to an i5.

  3. 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.
