    Windows requires activation after last update


    Hi,

    I have a bit of a problem with windows requiring activation. I've been using Windows 10 since I upgraded with Windows 8; now after 5 years with no changes to hardware or mucking about with the OS, it wants activation. The only thing I can think has caused it was the most recent update. I've tried sfc which won't run, and disk checking or safe mode made no difference.

    I no longer have my installation copy of Windows 8 although I don't think that would make much difference.


    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.



    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Windows requires activation after last update :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

  4. Windows requires activation after last update

    Windows Vista Activation

    I have 4 sytems in my home running vista(1 ult.-3 prem).The ultimate & 1 premium took SP1
    wthout a hitch.1 premium required re-activation?,The other premium did not list SP1 in windows up-date,So i manually installed it without any re-activation required.
    Also have to add that SP1 has increased performance in every comp.The ultimate machine actually got a 1,100 point increase in 3d 06 without any other changes at all.
