Windows 10 Pro Activation problem

Question

I keep trying to activate windows 10 pro edition and the following error keeps popping up;

Error: 0x80070017 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0x80070017' to display the error text.

If anyone can help me that would be amazing, i am running Windows 10 Pro, Version 1809, OS 17763.437,

Thank you for your time.

I just ran 'slui.exe 0x2a 0x80070017' and this is the error that popped up, I hope this is more helpful than other information previously provided.

Thank you for your time.

Hi DapTheTrap

I am Vijay, an Independent Advisor. I am here to work with you on this problem.

1. Get help with Windows activation errors (includes Windows 10 activation troubleshooter) - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/20527/...
2. If above doesn't work, To analyze the cause, I need the screenshot of following output

Windows Key+X > Click on either Powershell (Admin) or Command Prompt (Admin)

Copy below and paste into Powershell / Cmd windows and Enter

slmgr.vbs /dlv

Do let me know if you require any further help on this. Will be glad to help you.

When I go to settings, update and security, then hit activation, as soon as activation starts loading, the settings app closed.

This is what happened when I ran 'slmgr.vbs /dlv' in command prompt and powershell. I tried it in powershell first, same box popped up.

Thank you for your time and thank you for the quick response.

Reinstall Setting app

Windows Key+X > Click Powershell (Admin) > Copy the below and paste into Powershell > Enter > Reboot your computer

Get-AppXPackage -Name Windows.Immersivecontrolpanel | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

I did the following, and I still have the same problem. Settings app closed before 'Activation' could load.
