Deleting KMS

Anonymous

Hello, I accidently installed KMS from cmd with using slmgr command and some other stuff I don't remember now. After that I wanted to remove it used cmd again and used "Cscript slmgr. VBS /upk&cscript slmgr. VBS /cpky" command to remove it. After that I didn't had a windows license but I'm afraid if KMS leaves anything on my PC and I don't want to format my ssd's cuz I have importing stuff with no back up.
Is there anything I should do more? I used Autoruns to check if there is anything called KMS but couldn't find anything.
Thank you and I'm sorry. I should have checked it before trying it.

Open the registry editor again, it will still be on the same page, below is the key that needs to be deleted to remove the previous KMS server

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Click your Start Button, type regedit and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor.

    Click View and make sure 'Address Bar' is turned on.

    Paste this into the Address Bar at the top and hit Enter.

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform

    Please provide a screenshot of that Registry Editor page.
