    I looked at my computer last night and noticed the wallpaper was gone and a message was popping up at the bottom right telling me I need to activate my Windows. I bought this computer brand new from HP many years ago, Windows was pre-installed and I have never wiped and re-installed it or anything like that.

    I scanned for malware but found nothing. I rebooted the computer hoping that would fix it but now it's telling me that my security essentials will stop working in 30 days because my Windows is not valid.

    I have tried using some of the other suggestions I found in this section but none of them worked. 

    I tried to use the http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/ page but it doesn't work either.  If I use it in Chrome it tells me "Windows Validation was Interrupted" and if I use it in IE it just keeps looping back to the instructions page.

    The problem appears to be in the Licensing Store - please try the following.....

     

    Recreate the Licensing Store with the correct data.

     

    1) Open an Internet Browser window.

    2) Type: %windir%\system32 into the browser address bar.

    3) Find the file CMD.exe

    4) Right-Click on CMD.exe and select 'Run as Administrator'

    5) Type: net stop slsvc (it may ask you if you are sure, select yes)

    6) Type: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing

    7) Type: rename tokens.dat tokens.bar

    8) Type: cd %windir%\system32

    9) Type: net start slsvc

    10) Type: cscript slmgr.vbs -rilc (It may take a long time for this to complete, please be patient)

    11) Restart your computer twice. 

     

    You may be asked to enter your COA Key and/or Activate. – if asked for the Key, use the one on your COA sticker on the machine’s case (you may need to activate by telephone).  

     

    Once complete, run another MGADiag report and post back with the results.

    I did that and now it's asking for my key. When I input the key it tells me the key is not a valid key.

    I'm wondering about this. In the diagnostic report it has "Windows Product Key: *****-*****-27HYQ-XTKW2-WQD8Q"

    Should that product key match the key on my computer sticker? Because it doesn't.

    Computers that come pre-installed with Windows from large manufacturers usually come with two Product Keys.

     

    OEM SLP: This is the key that came in Windows (from the factory). It works by connecting to a BIOS flag (the SLIC table) found only on  computers from that Manufacturer. It also checks for the existence of proper matching licenses in the OS itself. Once it sees both, it self-activates every time the machine is rebooted.

     

    COA SLP: This is the key seen on the sticker located on the side, bottom or in the battery compartment of your machine. This key is for use if the OEM SLP self-activation stops working for whatever reason.

    For which version and edition of Windows is the COA sticker valid??

    In that case, it should work - make sure that you haven't misread the Key.

     0xC004F050 usually means that you've misread a character - either C/G/6 or B/8 or Y/V are the most common.

     

    Note that the following characters cannot be used - A E I L N O S U Z 1 0 - so don't bother trying unless you like the noise it makes :)

    an O/0 is almost always a Q

    I wish I confused one of those so I wouldn't feel so dumb. I turned a 7 into a V. Even though I read it three times. 

    Anyway, it seems to be fixed and working properly now. Thank you for the help.

    Heh - I know the feeling all too well!

    Glad you seem sorted now - please post a new MGADiag report so we can check it for you.
