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$

    As far as I know the windows will lock you out and you won’t be able to use it after the deadline is passed so far you can’t do some "Personalization" and maybe some other smaller adjustment’s and things.

    I have proof that my license is GENIUNE but as no one is contacted me and with no way to get the Microsoft Support attention I have no Idea how to proceed ,

    I sent an email alerting GamersNexus explaining my situation which is very similar to all of yours to take a look at this situation here, now question is if the GN Team will find it interesting enough to take a look at it and get involved in some way .

    Amazing! So we legit paying customers, with a GENUINE copy of this OS will just be locked out, unable to use it. Wonderful.

    I hope our problems will be solved sooner, cause that would be the ice on the cake of this crappy period.

    Come on microsoft, wake up FFS -.-'

    Hi,

    a tool that maybe handy could be Belarc Advisor. You can find keys that in your registry (hopefully) Even if it is not activated. Maybe worth a shot.

    Disclaimer, I don't work for Belarc. I have used this for personal use when reloading my own PC's Just search it, is to find and download to pull put keys and other interesting stuff. Save a pdf copy and go through the doc.

    Thanks for the reply, I already used a similar tool, ShowKeyPlus from the Microsoft store. I recovered the activation key, and it was useless to me.

    I discovered the key I found is a 'temporary' key, it needs a digital license through the microsoft account. So I'm right at the begin of the story.

    This key ends in 3V66T, so if you guys recovery it, just know that it is useless in the activation troubleshooter, section Change Activation Key

    as I said, the only way imho is to be contacted by microsoft tech support, which is hard sleeping this period of time -.-'

    Maybe could work on already installed windows but in my case, I ran a full clean installation by formatting my M.2SSD so no use of this kind of tools in my case unfortunately. Even AIDA 64 Extreme that I have licensed as well will show the Win KEY .
