https://www.windowslatest.com/2018/11/08/microsofts-windows-10-activation-system-is-broken-a-fix-is-coming/

Got a message this morning on windows 10 pro that I am not activated, before I knew about the problem in above news item, so spent 40 mins or so on phone to get reactivated, support tech couldn't have been better about it, though took remote control of computer which I am not keen on, but what can you do.

Seems activation issues are affecting a lot of people, and its going to take a few days to sort out.

So good to know that windows 10 is the most secure OS as yet, or so some people say.

Hope it doesn't affect you, got to put it down to one of these things that happen from day to day.

Hey Musiclover,

Interesting read. I'm curious, was your key one of the ones grand-fathered in from Windows 8? I skipped 8, so I had to purchase my Pro key, but I have not seen anything flaky yet. That is why I am wondering if perhaps that is why only certain users are experiencing it.

Yep you're right, was an upgrade from windows 8.1

Everything does seem fine now, Microsoft tech was very good, had I known they were experiencing problems with activation servers I probably wouldn't have phoned them, and let it fix itself after a few hours or days.


It is a bit creepy to see someone take over your pc and the cursor moving all over the place etc.


Although I am not a complete novice as regards computers, I wouldn't know how to correct activation problems other than run the troubleshooter, and they do have the know how as regards this.

May not be related, but my Windows 10 Home Edition has recently quit remembering my login credentials on ALL sites.

I first noticed it on pgmusic.com so I contacted Callie and Joe in Support but they couldn't sort. Later, I discovered that it was universal across all sites that I frequent.

In trying to self-diagnose, I found that my AV (Avast Free) was blocking a ransomware attack that was affecting my internet service.

I may not be able to visit again until this gets solved.

I am only getting brief connections online. Downloading a patch has been impossible. I get disconnected every 5 minutes.

My ISP (AT&T) admits to problems on their end and will make a free onsite visit to repair it but I have found it impossible to schedule a repair via their online scheduling page. Another frustrating Ketch 22.
