Hi. Thank you for your question and reaching out. I’d be more than happy to help you with your query

Windows 10/11 Evaluations, Activation, and Licensing are processes that allow users to access the full version of the Windows Operating System. Evaluation is a process that allows users to test the OS without having to purchase a license. After the evaluation period is over, the user must purchase a license to continue using the OS. Activation is a process that verifies the license and allows the user to continue using the OS. Licensing is the process of purchasing a license and entering the license key into the OS. It is important to note that the license key is only valid for one computer, and that the user must purchase a separate license for each computer they wish to use the OS on.

"If you fail to activate windows evaluation copy, your pc will shut down every hour"

You can get this behavior after the expiration of evaluation licence.

If you don't have a legal licence , you can keep WLMS service disabled waiting the legal licence:
