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$

    Hello Virginia...

    I'm having this issue and followed your direction in PowerShell. It yielded a pop up window with a bunch of stuff, but RETAIL channel is what I think you were asking as one of the results; and indeed that is what mine says. It also gave a partial product key which I assume is the last four characters and a license URL and a validation URL. It shows a "Remaining Windows rearm count: 999" and Remaining SKU rearm count: 999" The "Notification Reason: 0xC004F034."

    Now what should I do?

    Thank you.

    With the experience before I did disable TPM in Bios before flashing and logged in Win however I notice the change as I wasn't asked for "Change Pin" before logging in to windows and that's quite different than before.

    I don't know who something about it did, could be:

    Microsoft in general after this few last Win11/pro updates

    Microsoft support did something regarding my account specifically as I never received a resolution mail about the issue so IDK for sure.

    msi figure it out to create new BIOS update and not to mess up the TPM or licensing as a lot of people have been complaining on msi support forum as well.
