Question
-
I posted up here months ago about this problem, Darin Smith you even ran my serial key and found it to be valid, your suggestion was to contact Microsoft GA support regarding the issue, which i did and it was a frustrating process in which they told me to contact regular microsoft support and start all over again with explaining, so the thing i did was just install the corresponding update (KB971033) which triggers the message and been living my life fine since, however it gets annoying i have this update in my queue and i was wondering if perhaps some new information has come into light that would fix my issue. I am posting my diag log and hopefully something stands out now that it didnt before, i see some tampered file warnings could that be it? if so how can i repair them

Hello DCosta43,
Your Product Key is not the issue. I have checked it and it is Valid and Genuine.
In your original post, I now see there were two issues.
a) The WAT update installed yet four of it's files were showing as not present.
b) One additional file was showing as corrupt or modified
Since you had the WAT update uninstalled, issue #1 was removed but issue #2 still remains. In other words, the problem is that there is a system file (sppuinotify.dll) that has become corrupt or has been modified in some way.
Once this file is repaired, you should be able to reinstall the WAT update and not receive a Non-gnuine error (assuming it installs correctly this time)

----------------------------------------------------------
There are two things I can suggest to repair the file.
1. System Scan. The scan will look for bad Windows files and will attempt to repair them, if possible.
1) Click the Start Button
2) Type: cmd.exe
3) Right-click the cmd.exe file and select 'Run as Administrator'
4) In the CMD window, type: sfc /scannow
5) Reboot and see if that resolves the issue.
2. Repairing Windows using System Restore:1) Click the Start button
2) In the Start Search field, type: System Restore and hit “Enter”
3) Select "Choose Different Restore Point", Put a check in the box that says "Show restore points older than 5 days", select the restore point that corresponds to the date Before you first noticed the issue.
4) Click the "Next" button.
5) Reboot and see if that resolves the issue.If neither of those resolves the issue, I would normally refer you to Windows support. But since I have a feeling that would not appeal to you, the only other options I can provide would be to either Reinstall Windows or you can configure Windows Update to hide the WAT update (this will remove the update from the update queue).
I hope that is helpful and sorry I missed issue #2 in your original posting,

the system restore probably wouldnt work since the issue happened as soon as i installed the corresponding windows update that started the message, so i got a feeling the file has been long corrupted, i did the scan it said it found corrupt files and was unable to fix some of them. if i was to replace that .dll would that work? or is it unique for every system/install ? would a reinstall over my current windows os work? i definitely dont want to install all over again, especially since i only have a windows 7 upgrade disc and no need to be sorry about before, perfectly alright

Replacing the file can sometimes work but the file must be the exact same (including the same build number 6.1.7600.16385) as the, now corrupt, file. It is more likely to work in Windos 7 since it's soo new, it is less likely to have many different build numbers for the same file.
Sorry I couldn't be more help,

You didn't post a new result of the MGADiag report after running SFC - please do so, so that we can check that nothing important has come to light.HTH
