  1. Windows asking for activation


    Hi,


    I just restarted my laptop, and I am getting a watermark on the bottom left corner to activate my windows I have made no hardware changes on my laptop, and the laptop shipped with an original Windows 10 Home edition over an year ago.

    The watermark tells me to go to setting to activate windows, but the settings app shows me an error saying "We can't activate Windows on this device as product key you entered does not match the hardware profile." It then goes on to say to troubleshoot which doesnt work, or to go to store to buy an authentic copy of windows which I am already using. I have also attached a screenshot for reference.

    Please help me in this matter by the earliest.


    Thanks,

    :)

  3. Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


    Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
    2. Select or click Ease of Access.
    3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
    4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    5. Check if issue is resolved.
    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
