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

I encounter the same trouble, in a Lenovo with Windows 11 Professional after updating to 24H2 I got the problem in the image.

I'm an ICT Manager in my company and I would like to have an official Microsoft answer for this, and/or a very quick patch.

So how do I roll back a version after the 10 days? It seems like I can't do it.

Windows 11, version 24H2 is the update that removes activation for me

(PC custom built and windows installed instore before shipping to me)

I rolled back to when windows is listed as active, ran the script and like Marco's reply, my slot for OA3xOriginalProductKey is also empty.

anyone have another way to find out your key from within windows ?

currently resorting to turning off updates and pausing for 5 weeks.

How do we get Microsoft to actually respond to this and give us an update?

Been trying to figure that out myself. Like at least tells us "we are working on it."
