I am having an issue where my machine will not activate windows however I have an activation key in place and a product ID. I have had Windows 11 run just fine for a month and a half with no issues then out of no where, it's asking for a key that is already there.
I have already tried running the auto diagnostic tool with the troubleshoot button, slgmr commands, and as well sfc /scannow.
Here's a link to a screenshot of the settings menu with the error message. Any suggestions?
