  1. Windows Won't Activate After Reset


    Hi, I just purchased a Surface go laptop from Best Buy. Upon the very start up of my Laptop, windows was successfully activated and I had no issues with it whatsoever. I did have an issue with switching out of S mode on my laptop. I followed the steps get out of S mode, however I could not switch out of S mode, as the "Get" button was grayed out and I could not select it. Thus I decided to reset the entire PC. Once I reset the PC, I then ran into the new issue of Windows not even being activated, as it now says I may have an invalid product key. I have called Microsoft support three times and each phone call ends in a I will give you a call back, and I never do get called back. Any help would be great.


    Also if it helps, I switched to surface go as my surface pro 4 stopped working and I needed a new laptop due to that.

    :)

    cortana won`t talk to me

    Hi Steven,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    It's unfortunate that you are facing this issue. Let me assist you to resolve the issue.

    I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down the issue and to provide you better assistance.

    • Check and verify if Cortana is activated?
    • Does Cortana search and gives any output/result on screen?
    • Is the Language and region settings set to valid value?
    • Check and verify if Cortana available in your region?
    Method 1:

    I suggest you to try to turn Cortana off and then try turning it on back and check if she talks. Refer to the steps below to turn Off and On Cortana:

    • Open Cortana.
    • Click the hamburger button in the top left of the window.
    • Go to Settings and click on off.
    • Follow the same steps to turn it on.
    • Check if issue persists.
    I would suggest you to refer to the article given below and check if that helps.

    Cortana & search

    Hope this information helps, let us know the status of the issue
