I Got Windows 10 For Free When You Could, Now it's Deactivated Itself

I've got this new problem that is driving me mad. On my main gaming PC my Windows 10 just deactivated for some reason. None of the tricks I've read online have helped me. I can't even get rid of the watermark because the “PaintDesktopVersion” in the registry is already set to 0.

I think it started happening after I did a Windows update. I've since uninstalled the latest updates but that was no help, still deactivated.

My media PC in my bedroom that I also upgraded to Windows 10 for free at the same time as my gaming PC, is not experiencing this problem.

I've tried running malwarebytes, sfc /scannow and chkdsk all to no avail. Tried running the troubleshooter in settings-activation and it just tells me my key is invalid.

I'm really at my wits end with this and I really don't want to have to reinstall windows again (if that would even fix it).

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd be forever in your debt.

Use Activation Troubleshooter in Windows 10

and if all else fails contact your MS regional activation centre, assuming that's possible in current circumstances.

That was one of the first things I tried. I talked about it in the OP.

Is this what you mean?
