Windows validation fails after Patch Tuesdays

Question
-
Does this happen to anyone else?
I just installed a bunch of "Patch Tuesday" updates last night. Today, I noticed my Windows 7 is "not genuine" but I KNOW it is (purchased from Staples with all the seals/holograms/product key/etc. intact). It seems to always happen after some major Microsoft updates and I would generally go to the MS Genuine Advantage website, get validated, and continue on until the next Patch Tuesday.
Today, I found and ran the MGADiag tool. It found no problems and then desktop warning suddenly disappeared and I'm back to being legal again.
Does anyone know why applying Microsoft updates would get the Windows validation confused? It's awfully annoying and I wish MS would fix it!
thanks,

Please read the first sticky at the top of the forum page. The one that says "Please Read Before Posting." Then follow the instructions and post the MGADiag report in your reply. The tool has some curative properties and can fix some minor issues. But post as instructed anyway.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I did read the sticky before posting. Since running the MGADiag tool resolved my problems, I didn't see the need to post something when there was no longer a problem.
If I was mistaken and you can use this info to see why "Patch Tuesday" updates cause Windows validation errors (the REAL reason for my question), then OK here it is. Please let me know what you find out. Thanks!

That's what I thought. Thanks!
Should I be asking the "Patch Tuesday" question in another forum? I looked, but this seemed to be the most likely one.

I might try over there, though this issue seems to straddle both Updates and Genuine Windows.
They might send me back over here. :-)
Thanks!
