Hi All.
After the last update a week ago , now I have a message asking me to activate windows ..
My windows 8.1 came with the HP laptop and upgraded to 10 about a year ago ..
What is the problem ..? how do I fix this ..?
Thanks .
Please open a Command Prompt (Admin) or Powershell (Admin) and run:
slmgr /dlv
There will not be any uniquely identifying info in the result, please post the entire result here without blanking anything out and we can help further.
I suspect you probably have an erroneous Windows 10 Home product key installed and it needs to be changed to:
YTMG3-N6DKC-DKB77-7M9GH-8HVX7

This is the correct default Home key: YTMG3-N6DKC-DKB77-7M9GH-8HVX7
Use the Settings -> Activation->change product key link to install it.

I turn off all security and changed the prod.key "YTMG3-N6DKC-DKB77-7M9GH-8HVX7 ,
3 time .. No avail .. got error message :
"
In the system It said windows activated ...?

@Superfly provided the correct product key. My mistake - I wasn't at home to look at mine. Windows 10 Creator's Update has had issues with the GUI Activation Screen under Settings - Updates & Security - sometimes it won't activate Windows. Now that you have the proper product key installed, open the Command Prompt (Admin) or Powershell (Admin) and run:
slmgr /ato
That forces the online automatic activation. If you are already activated, it won't do any harm, it will just come back with a message that your Windows 10 is activated.
Cool, I'll try that as soon as I get back home ..@Superfly provided the correct product key. My mistake - I wasn't at home to look at mine

Update:
I think it works .... "fingers crossed"
Thank you NavyLCDR and very body.
