    Hi,  after 3 years of a smooth run,  my laptop (Lenovo E520 Thinkpad) has decided to throw up 'windows is not genuine, it pops up every 3 to 4  hours. The issue does not allow updates amongst other things. 

    This problem started about 3 weeks ago when I noticed an  Intel Rapid Storage install, which looked rather out of place, which I have since uninstalled, after trying various ways to validate.   Nothing else has been done to the computer other than recently remove Norton Security which was playing up. 

    Computer/Properties shows Windows is Activated and I ran the Product Key validation, id is under computer battery – no resolution.

    Many thanks…for your help....

    Hi Noel

    Thanks for the response,  I ran checks and found some corrupt/tampered files, no hardware issues.  

    I then decided, to avoid marking around, backed up data,  and then did a clean restore from factory settings, (used recovery petition), ...  reloaded key software, so far all good.... brand new again, see how we go.

    Its great to know we have somewhere to go when in trouble,  cheers ....  John

    Please run a full CHKDSK and SFC scan....

    Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories

    Right-click on the Command Prompt entry

    Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.

    At the Command prompt, type

     CHKDSK C: /R

    and hit the Enter key.

    You will be told that the drive is locked, and the CHKDSK will run at the next boot - hit the Y key, and then reboot.

    The CHKDSK will take a few hours depending on the size  of the drive, so be patient!

     After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally  (possibly after a second auto-reboot) - then run the SFC.

    SFC -System File Checker - Instructions

    Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories

    Right-click on the Command Prompt entry

    Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.

    At the Command prompt, type

    SFC /SCANNOW

    and hit the Enter key

    Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages - and then reboot.

    Upload the CBS.log file (compressed, please!) to your OneDrive or DropBox Public folder, and post a link - also post a new MGADiag report.

    HI:

    I have the same prob; but did the poster reply you? l am curious as to how to fix this annoyance. I have had my GENUINE copy for the past umpteen years, paid for - yada yada. Why Microsoft decided unilaterally that my copy is not genuine? Is everyone a crook in their estimation?

    I am cheesed off but I need to fix this though. Thanks.

    To properly analyse and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool

    (download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )

     Once saved, run the tool.

    Click on the Continue button, which will produce the report.

     To copy the report to your response, click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your response.

      - in your own thread, please

    Please also state the Version and Edition of Windows quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker!
