Windows 10: Windows 11 Pro license suddenly gone after update 24H2. Tried everything

Today, on 3th December 2024, i installed the new windows update 24h2 .The download took unusually long but i didn't mind a lot of it, and once it finished i went to use my pc as usual. However, after around 2 to 3 Hours the "activate windows" label popped up or i noticed it after 2-3 Hours but whatever, i didn't worry to much so i opened settings and saw Error code 0xc004f213. Tried troubleshooting the issue but all it gives me, is: "We can't activate your copy of Windows. Make sure that you're connected to the Internet and try again. If you're connected to the Internet and continue seeing

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?
