I too have a M/B with diagnostic LEDs. Turn off, use ground strap if you have one, reseat each memory module. (This solved my issue.) Also reseat each cable; drive, peripherals, etc. If the LED is still lit on reboot, go to the OEM site and look for diagnostic utilities, driver updates, etc.

Just got redirected here (again) from another tech site. Re-reading all, just because, I noticed a concern with most "reg cleaners" is safety. Just wanted to point out something in Revo Uninstaller. I'm fairly certain other cleaners have options, too.

I had this problem 2 weeks ago after I switched to a new system; home-built new case, new MB, new SSD, clean install of 24H2. After reboot, I went to Settings>System>Activation>Change Product Key and re-entered my old key. Activation took maybe 5 seconds. Luck or . . .
