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$

    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.

    Mainboard Gigabyte GA-Z790 Aorus elite ax.

    I have updated the bios today, and after this when restarted the pc, windows deactivated completelly, not allowing me to activate it again.

    Every single option like "I have changed my hardware" resulted error.

    I have tried everything but there was no luck. I tried Microsoft support, again no luck.

    I get tired and bought a new Windows 11 Pro license for 9€

    T.T

    For what it's worth, I found my retail key that I once backup with AIDA64 Extreme but forgot I did.
    So, just out of curiosity I try to use the key within Win 11 "Change license" option, and it was accepted without problems.
    Now I have no idea would it be accepted before as I forgot about it and if this has anything to do with my correspondence with MS Support and they did something for the key to work?
    The key format ends with xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx 3V66T.
