Hello, my Windows 10 Home PC has been deactivated and the troubleshooter gives the error 0x8007005. Even after a reboot. It has always been activated before. It came with Windows Eight and was upgraded to windows 10 during the free upgrade period. How can I fix this activation error?
Windows 10 Version 20270.1
In command prompt with admin privileges or powershell with admin privileges:
slmgr /ipk YTMG3-N6DKC-DKB77-7M9GH-8HVX7
slmgr /ato
The first command installs the correct generic Windows 10 Home product key that should have been used for the Windows 8 to 10 upgrade.
The second command initiates online activation (you have to be connected to the internet).
Please post the result of the second command.
I get this when running any of the two commands.
Are you logged into the computer with an Administrator account?
Yes, the rest are standard accounts.
Try pressing Win + R to open a run dialog box. Run: regedit
Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Double click on the DisallowRun key and if it's value is 1 change it to 0. Then try the commands again.
Thank You! It worked!
The bad news is that it may have been a virus or malware that caused it.
