Rolling back to the previous version fixed the problem. I'm going to wait for a stable version then.
Windows 11 deactivated after 24h2 update

I updated my computer today to 24H2 and after it rebooted it requested me to activate my copy of Windows Home. I attempted to using the key that I have but it says that it can't.
I have inserted a screenshot below. If you need any further information please let me know.
cheers

2025-01-06T00:23:46+00:00 I just developed this same problem when updating end of December. Problem is we just moved beginning of November and I have no idea where my product key is located. I purchased this copy over a year ago from Newegg.

2024-12-30T13:41:21+00:00 I confirm - I have the same issue. I could not overcome that problem. I know my product key, but even though the activation could not succeed. I reverted to 23H2 and all is OK again. Of course, for now I postpone the update for 24H2.
How to revert?
Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Recovery > Go back.
