    I update my windows and now windows is asking to be activate


    Hi I updated my windows to the latest version and after the update I have a water mark in the bottom right of my screen asking for to activate windows. I went through the troubleshooter and it didn't fix it. I found my windows license key and tried to change my key to that. Its on windows 11 and its says I'm on the latest version of windows 11 Any help would be a great, Thanks in advance

    :)

    Windows Update suddenly hangs?

    Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

    I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?

    Windows updates...

    Oh. Your "Registry" must have gotten screwed up FLY3R. If for some reason you couldn't download your updates I suppose you could go to the update site, and run throught the steps 'till it fails activation. Then you could go up to "Tools > Manage Add ons > then disable "Windows Genuine Advatage Validation Tool." Of course you should only use this method if you are having problems updating your legitamate copy of Windows XP. Perhaps do to a corrupted piece of software? *Smile I update my windows and now windows is asking to be activate :)
