Windows issue? 4 years 4 months ago #1177854

So I log into my PC today to see the "Activate Windows" watermark, which is rather bazaar as I own an activated version of windows. About 5 minutes later, and some googling, the watermark disappears, I check my settings and its suddenly activated again? Anyone know why this has happened?

Yeah have you replaced any PC parts recently?

If you keep replacing parts eventually Windows doesn't recognise the hardware tied to your activation key and it essentially un-activates itself. You can speak to Microsoft support and they can issue a reactivation which should sort it

Nope, I haven't changed a thing. Just woke up and logged in.

Odd, might be a problem on Microsoft's end with their activation servers? Might be worth contacting their support just incase
