Activate Windows - keeps recurring

Anonymous

Over the past few months I keep getting Activate Windows showing up on my desktop.  I found out online to click Troubleshoot to fix the error.  Each time Troubleshoot seems to solve the problem, but recently Activate Windows is recurring pretty much every day.  How can I permanently fix this problem?

Please, show activation page - Settings, Updates, Activation.

Please run a command DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth (it may take few minutes).
