Activate Windows 10 Error 0x8007007B

Question

Hello, I've been trying to activate Windows 10 for a while now, but I can't due to error 0x8007007B. I saw in other forums that they used the following commands:
slmgr -upk

slmgr -cpky

slmgr -ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX (obviously using a valid key)

slmgr -ato

All the commands execute correctly, but when using the command slmgr -ato, I get the following error:

Activation Windows(R), Professional edition

(2de67392-b7a7-462a-b1ca-108dd189f588) ...

Error: 0x8007007B The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (SWbemObjectEx)

I already tried using sfc /scannow in PowerShell, but I think nothing can fix it.

Answer 4

Hello,

Try to activate Windows by phone:

1. Press Windows logo key + R, type slui 4 in the Open box, and select OK.
2. Select your location (or the location nearest to you) from the drop-down list, and then select Next.
3. Call one of the available phone numbers listed. An automated system will guide you through the activation process.
4. If you're not able to complete activation successfully, you will be connected to Microsoft support for your region and country.

Hope this helps.
