While reading emails, PC quit responding...Restarted the PC and I get 'A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the license for this computer. Error Code: 0x8007007e.' I cannot get past this. PC will boot up in Safe Mode, but not with networking active. I have had this PC for several years with no issues. Automatic Updates are set to everyday at 3:00 pm.
