Either link your activation to an MS account and go through the activation troubleshooter later to transfer the license, use your old Windows 7 key or buy one of those cheap $5 Ebay keys.

nielsm posted:When I upgraded mobo/CPU/RAM a little while back (Intel to AMD upgrade) I had to re-enter my old Windows 7 retail key for it to activate again, despite having a digital license entitlement and logging in with MS account. Did you try running the activation troubleshooter? The license won't reactivate automatically.

I've used Ctrl + Shift + Esc to launch the task manager ever since Vista added that splash screen to Ctrl + Alt + Delete. Another handy tip is killing explorer.exe (and manually relaunching it should it not restart automatically) if you have shell issues.

Is any third-party AV installed or are there traces of one? In that case, download the uninstallation tool from the third-party AV website. If that doesn't help, try updating to the latest version 2004, which amounts to a reinstall of system files. Maybe that fixes it.

I've solved a surprising number of Windows problems (Windows Update no longer working, for example) by forcing an update to the latest version.

redeyes posted:Its actually the monitor's fault. Its disconnecting itself before turning off. Well it's also windows fault for being crappy about this for literally 15 years. Windows handles this poorly by default, so it really depends on how the graphics card driver handles things. I've had this issue with the same monitors on a PC with integrated Intel graphics, but not Nvidia cards.
