I activated my windows 11 pro about 2 weeks ago, since then after having my pc on for a little the windows activation message pops up on the bottom of my screen and in settings it asks me to activate my key. When I type it in, it says its an invalid key.

2026-01-15T01:18:27.7266667+00:00 I am actually asking where you got the key? Did you purchase it from Microsoft, or did you purchase it from third party?
What do you mean by hardware reset to be exact ??
