Microsoft Windows 11

This is really annoying me now.

 

The troubleshooter will activate Windows, but then periodically, maybe once a day or so, it will show the message bottom right again saying I need to activate Windows.

 

I need this fixed, it's driving me mad.

Hi:

 

See if this works:

 

Install and run the free Showkey Plus app from the Microsoft store.

 

ShowKeyPlus - Microsoft Store Apps

 

When you run the report, you should see an Installed W10 product key and an OEM product key.

 

If the Installed key is different than the OEM key, change the installed key to the OEM key and activate Windows with the OEM key.

 

To change the product key, click on the Windows icon on the lower left corner of the taskbar>Settings>Update & Security>Activation>Change Product Key.

Thanks for that, good attempt but unfortunately the codes already do match.
