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$

    Just a quick update, according to my Service request history:

    my first ticket was just cancelled, it was opened june 22nd, and cancelled yesterday.

    No e-mail or phone call, of course. It was a not as explicative as the other 2 tickets, and sI should've cancel it myself, the interesting part is that they took ten whole days just to cancel a ticket request.

    The next two tickets I opened are much more precise describing my issues, and they have also invoices of windows pro retali and the new hardware as attachments. Theye were opened on june 23rd (english) and june 30th (italian), no agent assigne yet, for both of them, and if the time span is similar to the first ticket I'm expecting something happening between today and tomorrow.

    Last thing I noticed, the error code in activation troubleshooter suddenly changed, this morning. Now it says 'We can't activate windows right now' with a different error code (0x803FABC3)

    The old error code was 0xC004F213

    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 -.-'

    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 -.-'

    mine is msi meg Z790 ACE unbelievable 700USD motherboard + 300 USD Win 11 Pro license over MS Store, and no one gives the slights ****!
    msi is blaming and pushing towards Microsoft and MS is dormant, and don’t give a ****, no support, no replays, nothing, drives me mad.
    I will alert Gamers Nexus Steve to take a look on this thread maybe he will find some interest and steer up the hornets’ nest.
