My PC installed an update and afterwards my copy of windows 11 was no longer activated and I no longer have my Product Key to hand, Is it possible to recover my Product Key?

Windows 98 and ME no longer updatable...

Quite right, XP is still listed in technet. Win 98 unfortunately isn't. Windows 3.1 and 3.2 are listed though.

 

Windows no longer active it says windows not activated.

Hi Victoria,



Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I understand your concerned. Let me help you to fix the issue.



To assist you better, I would like to know how did you upgraded to Windows 10 through Windows update or Windows 10 ISO?



Meanwhile, I would suggest you try activating the Windows using phone. Follow the below steps to activate the Windows by phone.

• 
  Press Windows key + X and click on
  Run,
  
• 
  Type slui 4 in the box and hit Enter Key.
  
• 
  Select your 'Country' from the list.
  
• 
  Choose the 'Phone Activation' option.
  
• 
  Stay on the phone and wait for a person to help you.
  
• 
  And also you can explain your problem clearly to the support person.
  

Hope this helps. If you need further assistance with Windows in future, let us know and will be happy to help.

 

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.
