  1. Windows has de-activated itself?


    I am running windows 10 Pro, upgraded for free from Windows 7 Pro OEM, for which I have the original box and product key.


    Yesterday my machine informed me that it was not activated. The activation troubleshooter does not help, suggesting instead I pay to purchase windows. I have not changed any hardware on this system in months.


    I have tried to contact Microsoft support by phone to resolve this four times now. Each time after going through the prompts the computer tells me to "please wait while I am connected", then hangs up on me.


    I've looked through past questions here but haven't had much luck. Any help or suggestions to resolve this is much appreciated -- I'm starting to take a very dim view of Microsoft's tech support infrastructure.



    Many thanks!

    :)

  4. Windows has de-activated itself?

    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.
