Windows activation after bios update

After updating the bios, im unable to activate windows 11, which was already activated. You're telling me I can't update the bios without windows freaking out. I paid for this product and now the only thing the troubleshooter is telling me to do is to just buy another product key. How the hell do I go about fixing this since windows services is just an utter joke? I'm constantly having to deal with fixing **** issues with windows 11. This product is a big joke. The "get help" app does nothing but direct me to exactly what their windows activation page is on the website.

Contacting support did nothing. They told me it's not their issue. Quality service M$

    Same issue here after BIOS update in my Gigabyte B760m AUROS Pro AX.

    This is obviously something wrong on MSs side. Wonder if we're ever going to get a fix.

    Yep, it is exactly the issue and you will not be able to use the "reactivate option for hardware change"... welcome in the infinite loop... (maybe, try to find your product key, it can maybe help)... but at the end, we cannot trust the "digital license" system at all.

    I'm having the same problem. Upgraded a MSI PRO-Z690-A-DDR4 from BIOS 7D25v14 to 7D25v1A and lost activation and MS refuses to let me re-activate with my old license.

    Even flashing back to the old BIOS was useless.

    I think it may have to do with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) I think security keys get deleted
