    I've been running the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade for about a year on a 4 year old PC that originally had VISTA Home Premium OEM installed.  Both OSs were purchased from legitmate retail sources, and were previously activated and validated.  Two days ago, Windows Update installed 22 updates.  After the updates, I started receiving notifications that my copy of Windows was not Genuine.  Windows Activation indicates I need to "Activate Today" - but attempting to activate fails because it believes Windows isn't Genuine.  I have tried to reactivate Windows by changing (reentering) the Product Key, but I get a 0x80070005 Error Code - Access is denied.  I've not installed any other software recently or changed any service permissions or other computer settings, and scans with both Norton AV and Malwarebytes are negative.  This is a stand alone PC that does not have any GPO applied to it that would interfer with validation permissions.  As a side note, also following the updates, MS Word continued to work, but Excel will not launch because it inidicates it can't validate the Office license.  I've "repaired" MS Office, but haven't been able to reboot my PC to determine if that helped because I'm in the middle of wiping a large non-system data hard drive that has to be returned due to a Smart event.

    Here is a copy of theMGADiagToolOutput results.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Noel,

    Well . . . here's one that will leave you scratching your head.  Before running any of the tests I mentioned above, I shut everything down, shut off the PC, removed the defective hard drive I had wiped and reformatted (1 of 2 discs in a Raid 1 data-only array that was reporting a SMART event) and then rebooted into Windows. 

    Once I booted into Windows, I checked and Windows now shows as activated, and I am able to pass the validation test on the Microsoft website.  Hopefully this was just an isolated incident somehow related either to the disk wiping process I as doing, or (since this was the first chance I had to reboot the PC since the updates) perhaps the reboot "fixed" something that didn't install correctly the first time from the updates and eliminated whatever was causing the interference.  In any event (knock on wood), it looks like I'm back in business.  I'll mark this as answered, and hopefully the problem won't surface again and require a trip back to this forum.

    Again, thanks for the suggestions and assistance!

    Unfortunately, we’ve not had much success with curing this particular problem – but see if you can associate with the problem as defined here.
     
    Have you been using any king of Registry Cleaner? If so, then see if you can UNDO the damage it’s done, either from the program itself, or by using System Restore.

    Noel,

    Thanks.  I had reviewed the link you provided before I posted.  I don't have any GPOs applied, and in HKU/S-1-5-20, NETWORK SERVICE has both Full Control and Read permissions checked, as it should.  I'm not missing any of the registry keys specified in HKLM, and all of the values in those keys look correct, except for the ProfileImagePath value (the Microsoft support article references a series of HEX values, and my registry values are path locations on the C drive).  I didn't want to mess with replacing registry key values (or try anything that would require a system reboot) while I was in the process of wiping my data hard drive, but that process will be complete soon, so when it's done, I'll experiment with changing the ProfileImagePath values (and possibly a Windows repair and/or system restore) and see if there is any difference and report back later.

    I don't use any registry cleaners.  I suspect something happened as a result of all of the Windows security updates and patches I just applied.  They all indicate they were installed successfully, but 22 is a large number to apply in one shot, and something might have gotten messed up.  I shut down my PC and let Windows automatically install the updates without checking to see how many there were, so by the time I realized there were so many, it was too late to split them up.

    (I’ve done all 90+ at one fell swoop before without a problem, but.....)
     
    I had an interesting result on a PC this morning with an 80070005 error – it turned out that a registry error had been causing problems with all sorts of things.....
    please open regedit, and look for the
    HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2025428036-2626030595-3146414242-1000\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
    Key -
    check the Data for the AppData value – it should read
    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming
    if it reads anything else, then modify it to the above.
    (on that machine it read ‘C:\Users\<username>\Application Data’ instead)

    Noel,

    Thanks.  My HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21 key has a different series of following numbers in the name from what you quote above, but the AppData value in the User Shell Folders in the comparable path you indicate has the value you say it should, i.e.

             %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming

    I'm going to try a repair and if that doesn't help, I'm going to try replacing the ProfileImagePath values in the "missing keys" section in accordance with http://support.microsoft..com/kb/2008385

    FYI - below are the values the support article instructs to merge into the registry.  In all three, it specifies a binary hex number for the ProfileImagePath.  My values are not binary, but "Expand_SZ" and the key values I will replace are indicated in red below.  I'll report back if this makes any difference.  If neither of these two things do the trick, I have to go out of town tomorrow, so I'll set this aside and deal with it next week when I get back in town.

    Thanks for the help and suggestions.
