Hi ankitsaini6-

Thank you for keeping me posted and i do apologize it didn't work.

Kindly perform a in-place repair on your Windows.

In-place repair/upgrade or repair reinstall is a process of re-installing Windows without touching any of your applications or personal files. In this way if there's any data corruption, damaged system files or missing system files on your computer, this repair will fix or repair them.

To start we need to download an ISO file of Windows 10 and save it to your computer. Please follow the instruction on the link below to create an ISO file

After the ISO is created, follow the instructions on the link below created by PaulSey, Microsoft Agent, on how to perform repair install on your computer.

This process will take some time to complete so you need to be very patient in waiting until the process completes. Once done , restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.

Please do let me know what will happen. Hope this will help and have a blessed day!

Thanks.

Hi ankitsaini6-

I"m Kevin B. Independent Advisor and a Windows user like you. I do apologize for the inconvenience, let me help you sort things out.

Do you still have the copy of your Windows product key? Kindly try to activate using command prompt.

To activate your windows using the command prompt

1. Open command prompt with administrator access
2. Type the below commands:

slmgr -rearm

slmgr - upk

slmgr -cpky

3. Restart your computer. Once restarted open command prompt again and type the following command.

slmgr.vbs -ipk XXXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX >> Replace X with your 25 alpha numeric product key

slmgr.vbs -ato >> This will activate the windows using the product key you've entered on ipk mode.

4. Restart computer and check if windows is activated.

Please do let me know what will happen. Hope this will help and have a blessed day!

Thanks.
