Windows 8 will not activate after 1 year of service

Purchased a HP Desktop for over a year and it came with Windows 8 (not happy) and it worked fine until a week ago.  All of a sudden when I turn on PC, I get a window that makes me go to the PC game up and says Windows will not turn on, please try again later or contact MS help.  At the same time all products Office has stopped working and I cannot print pdf files either.  Recent activity that can be connected; Norton came on PC but I never signed, I signed up 2 weeks ago. Norton does not feature anti-adware so I also loaded System Mechanic.  I had to because my machine had become infected with adware which was causing slowdowns and annoying pop ups.  How to solve this problem so that Windows is reactive?

A few other items of interest:

I always had problems with the download of updates to TurboTax for Windows updates, sometimes work, most of the time not.  Usually, it will look like this works, but progress will be zero for hours if let you it go.

Thank you for your help.

First of all:

Try to do a system restore before you start who encounter this problem to see if it corrects the problem:

  • Windows 7 will not activate after a clean install and several improvements to my computer.

    I bought a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  I installed my old hardware running, but found Windows 7 either too many resources.  When there was enough money kicking around to upgrade my computer a few months later I did (new card mother cpu and ram).  Windows 7 would not start normally or in safe mode, my old installation of XP would not boot normally but would start in safe mode.  So I reinstalled Windows 7 with a clean install (reformatted my hard drive) and it works fine but now it won't turn on!  It says that I have to type in a different product key because I typed the product key cannot be used to activate Windows on my computer.

    I understand the need to fight against piracy, but the thought that I can't upgrade my computer without having to buy another product key is ridiculous!  There are solutions to this problem?

    Activate manually.  It is detect your previous installation and seeing this as an attempt to install the product on another computer.  It is a common phenomenon.

    To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate the operating system.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Windows 7 will not activate with the OEM key, after the failure of HARD drive.

    Hello

    I was recently asked to repair my brother DELL laptop.  The HARD drive failed and the system unusable.  I replaced the HARD drive and installed Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 (earlier version of windows) from my own installation media.  The recovery partition had survived the failure of HARD drive, I would have just cloned that and used, but this was not an option in this case.

    The problem that I am experiencing, is that windows don't will not activate, saying that the key is not valid.  I was told that installing Windows 7 media would work with a retail or an OEM key, but that doesn't seem to be the case.  The key OEM I use, is from the computer it came from originally, and the only material change is the new HARD disk.

    I try to avoid ordering an OEM Dell installation CD, as which costs money (I already have my own installation CD) and takes time (why do they have them available for download?).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    you use an OEM SLP key that only works with the manufacturers recovery media.

    change the product key to that on computers of COA
    Click Start, type slui3, press ENTER.

    Additional information:

    Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

    OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

    COA SLP: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

  • Pavilion dv6: Intel Centrino Wireless - n 2230 will not activate after the upgrade to Windows 10

    Model A3E82AV number

    I've been avoiding Windows 10 because I knew something like this was going to happen, but I took the pludge.  Anyway, everything seemed to work but my wireless adapter.  After the upgrade, the rocker on the keyboard turns on and outside airplane mode, and I can't switch to map wireless in Windows settings.

    I can get wireless adapter to turn on, go into that in a minute, but if I shutdown or reboot, the problem returns.

    I had success in the driver update, or by manually installing the driver, I even read a tip to make the battery, hold the power button down while the battery is out and run it upwards.  I tried to reset the BIOs to default settings.  When the computer feels like it, the wireless adapter will start working after a reboot.  If I have the toggle switch, the light goes from orange to white, I can then activate wireless and connect to my SSID.  If I stop or restart, my wireless NETWORK card no longer works and we return to the toggle keyboard turning power on and off airplane mode.  Device Manager says it is working normally and the drivers are up to date.

    I read a post from microsoft that says VPN adapters could cause corruption while making the upgrade.  I'm a professional, so I got a handful of cards, but also virtual cards VMWare Workstation installed, so I tried to come back to Win 7, remove the adapters, are re-upgrade.  It does not solve the issue.  While I was back in Windows 7, everything worked most of the time, but there were some problems with the programs, etc. which would not work right.  When I upgraded to Windows 10, some of these problems persist, so I checked my backups to make sure they were up to date and did a new install of windows 10.  I am now running a new image with just firefox, associate of HP and the different drivers Intel, I tried to install, and I still can't get the card wireless to tour consistantly on / off power after a reboot.  I thought for sure the nuclear option could solve the problem now I can't even go back to Windows 7.  I did mention to try some recommended drivers Intel, I found in other posts... I also tried to uninstall the driver, and install in compatibility mode, but that has not worked, either.

    This one had me scratching my head.  I tried literally everything I can find on the internet in an attempt to solve the problem, and nothing will keep the work of consistantly wireless NETWORK card.  Any other ideas out there?

    Looking at the forums, appears not to have a lot of people in all areas of this issue with different brands of computers and network interface cards.  If anyone knows anything else to try, I would really appreciate it.

    FIXED!

    I think so.  I downloaded and installed the bios for Windows 8.  After that, I managed shutdown and booted my laptop 3 times and restarted once.  Every time you start after the installation of the firmware BIOs, the card automatically turned on and connected to my SSID NETWORK.  Since the upgrade to Windows 10 I saw not the laptop automatically start and connect the wireless NETWORK card and he did successfully 4 times now.

    The file that I downloaded from the HP Web site was update the BIOs for Windows 8 version F.2D rev A.  The file name is sp68425.  I will continue to monitor and make sure that it was indeed the fix, but all great so far.

    For people who can run on the same topic, here's a recap of what I did to solve my problem:

    Centrino 2230 installed 15.18.0.1 driver
    Update driver Bluetooth 10.0.10586.0

    Updated the BIOS to the version of Windows 8 F.2D Rev A

    If you decide to play with the BIOs firmware, just be aware that if things go well, you could cause more damage to your system.  I would only try this method if you are uncomfortable for the recovery of a faulty BIOS installation.

  • Windows 8 Pro will not activate after recovery

    Hi all

    A few days ago, the drive hard my Lenovo ThinkCentre E73 suddenly stopped working. After the replacement of what I did full software recovery with Windows 8 Professional CD I ordered a Lenovo time ago. But after the Windows installation is not triggered it. I discovered that time settings where wrong. After changing the correct setting, I restart the system and hope for the best. But still Windows won't turn on anymore.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you!

    Best regards

    Hello BiggAl (is your name refers to a person from South Park?) Very nice haha!)

    I just format the hard drive and install Windows 10. Windows 10 was activate very well! The main reason why I installed Windows 8 was first because I thought that it was necessary for the activation of Windows 10.

    So it works very well!

    Thanks for helping me!

  • Computer will not activate after installing XP SP2 repair

    I see a lot of people have posted on this subject, and some have set.  I did a repair of an old computer installation.  At the start, it says I need to activate my copy of XP.  It just hangs.

    I can boot into safe mode (but not with networking).  I followed the 312295 article, which had me do the following

    1 regedit-localmachine-software... - winnt - winlogon - notify delete RESETS (there was none this entry, so I didn't do anything)

    2... regedit wpaevents OOBETimer 'Edit' (don't know what you mean about a hex file editing, so I just delete a line)

    3 renamed WPA.dbl

    4 extended wpa.db_ from wpa.dbl installation disc (ran OK)

    5 looking for any reset5.* or srvany.exe (no current)

    6 restart the computer.

    The same problem.   Still will not start.  Any other ideas?

    Some recommend to replace IE 8.  I'm certainly willing to do that - except my installation disc is a version of SP2.   So, how can I get a version of SP3 to install in safe mode?   (I download from another computer, but I don't know which version to get).

    Why I installed? There was no failure, but because after 8 years of use the computer was bogged down so he could barely work.

    But if this was justified is besides the point, because it is already done.

    I installed SP3.  I Redid the things listed above.

    I still get the message saying to activate windows and it crashes whenever I try.

    So I took the advice of others, installed IE8 in safe mode.  Upon restart, it worked!  (An arisen window asking me to activate, I said yes and it worked.

    This window looked like IE8 material - probably at the heart of the problem.

    Problem solved.

    Resettlement on new disc

    Hey there-

    I bought a new SSD, had it installed and installed Windows XP by using a Setup disk I had laying around.  He wants to be activated (even if the original installation is always on the computer, but on the 'slave', non-Boot drive).  When I try to use the activation code that was on the original hard disk, it will not work.  On the last 10-15 years, of which several were recovered for parts, I bought at least a half dozen computers with Windows XP (i.e., I have many more devices running Windows XP licenses).  I tried to enter codes Activation of certain decisions which have been taken down, and I can't at work either one of them.  I tried to use dial-in Activation (by entering the installation of 54-digit ID), with no luck as well.  Is it possible to get it work?

  • Windows Defender will not activate in Windows Vista

    I use windows vista and after I bought Norton 360 and put it on my HP laptop... whenever I wish my PC it seems there is a problem with windows security. When I open my windows Defender would emerge but let me enable it by running the update for it.  Now it lights up at all... I get a message that windows security is unable to activate windows defender on please try again later... more later she just said and did the same thing and will not let me install another version of windows defender... OH one thing... after having installed Norton on this laptop as well as my other more old or my CD/DVD burner drivers works not at all... will not read a disc at all... what happens?

    You should never have 2 versions on any antivirus installed on your computer, or 2 different AVs installed.

    It will cause problems.

    I suggest that solve you your Norton anti-virus to address any problem of CD.

    http://www.Symantec.com/support/index.jsp

    Contact the Norton Support.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc. installed, they have a conflict with Windows Defender, or turn it off.

    Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and should automatically disable the version of Vista in Windows Defender.

    If it's not:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off

    Turn Windows Defender on or off the information on the link above of Microsoft.

  • Replacement motherboard now, windows XP will not activate, everything remained the same.

    Our computer crashed, then we realised the motherboard was faulty, then we replaced. After starting the computer, everything went well, windows said to activate before it could begin. We went through the activation by phone, but he said, that he could not activate. We have not changed anything in the computer except the motherboard, is there a way to get this reactive?

    As Noel mentioned, if the XP is initially pre-installed on this PC, it is an OEM version and is linked to the computer (specifically the motherboard of the PC).

    However, if it is not an OEM version, while the question is perhaps that you have to re - activate by phone.

    If none of these scenarios fits your specific problem, so please follow post Christmas how view a diagnosis report
