    Windows not activated after reinstallation


    I have two laptops, an Eluktronics and an ASUS.


    Long story short, my Eluktronics laptop essentially got bricked due to my BIOS not being compatible with the Windows 10 1903 update. The only way I managed to get Windows reinstalled (version 1809) was by putting the SSD that had Windows installed on it into my ASUS laptop.


    I know the product codes are linked with the motherboard or whatever it is, but other than that I'm pretty clueless.


    In short, my Eluktronics laptop says Windows is not activated and I would like to know what I need to do to get it re-activated. Do I have to do another reinstallation of Windows on the Eluktronics laptop itself? Just buy a new Windows 10 product key? What should I do? Thank you.

    :)

  2. 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.
