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$
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I just downloaded the stand-alone command and saving it for safe keeping and future reference. My activation issue was solved another way due to my specific circumstance with a dual boot machine; however, I was thinking of doing a BIOS update. Do you run this script BEFORE any BIOS updates or hardware swaps or run the script AFTER BIOS or hardware swaps?
I wonder if this has anything to do with:
Windows Ends Installation Path for Free Windows 7/8 Upgrade
Even though it was targeting Windows 7 and 8, I could easily see a coding error that is really screwing with recently updated BIOSs and Windows 10/11 Activation.
As already wrote in a post before, there is a tool (used even by some microsoft 'support personnel') that grant you what you're entitled to: a
permanent windows 11 license. It's not an official tool, but whatever. Next time I'll face a BIOS issue, this tool is there to wait, to solve the problem
with just one click.
I saved a copy of my license purchase in case microsoft complain about it, and to be honest, I probably will use it again with the next windows
releases even without a legal purchased license. There, I said it.
Good job microsoft (you do not deserve the capital m, deal with it).
good luck everyone to solve this annoying problem.
