Hello, everyone who read this. I have a little Problem with my new Setup, I upgraded my system to new Motherboard, RAM and CPU, but I have an Activate Windows Problem. On my old setup I was having a Windows 11 Pro 23H2, and it worked perfect nothing else, but after my update and full SSD reboot, I get Activate Windows Problem I think everyone know how it looks, I tried everything for a couple of days, but after a short amount of time I get same problem. After full boot nothing and in 1–5 Hours I get Activate Windows even if I don't have this on my Monitor I still have in Settings "Please Activate your Windows to personalize your PC". I get Error code: 0xC004F211 and if I try to troubleshoot problem I get another Error with Code 0xc0020036 and I can't fix it "I have Windows activation code but if I try to reactivate code I get 0xc0020036 again. So I tried again to get some contact, but nothing happened. So I ask you my dear readers and maybe even Helpers. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Thank you.

When you got that error, typically is due to corruption. A repair install typically can address that.

To perform a repair installation of Windows 11 using the Windows Media Creation Tool:

The following steps should be done on a working Windows computer:

Download the Windows Media Creation Tool from Microsoft's official website. https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/win... click on the "download now" button under "Create Windows 11 Installation Media"

Run the tool and select "Create installation media for another PC."

Choose "USB flash drive" as the media to use for the installation and select "Next."

Connect a USB flash drive with at least 8 GB of free space to your computer.

Select the USB flash drive you want to use, and then select "Next."

The tool will then download the required files and create the installation media.

=====================================================

Now these steps will  be done on your problematic computer:

Go to the USB drive via File Explorer, locate and run the Setup.exe file. Ideally, you should disconnect all USB and Bluetooth devices other than mouse and keyboard. Disable any 3rd party antivirus program. Disconnect the internet.

Once you run the Setup.exe file, choose the Install option, and the choose the option that keeps your files and apps.

    After the repair install, run the slmgr /dlv again, and it should properly pop up the license status window. If it is still not activated, please share that screen.

    Hello, this is Emily.

    What type of license do you have? Did it come with the computer? Or did you purchase it yourself? If so, Can you please type cmd in the search on the taskbar and hit enter to launch command prompt, then run the following command:

    slmgr /dlv

    Then share a screenshot please. Thanks!
