i was able to reactivate when i tried again.

My microsoft account shows my current machine as linked to my digital license. However when I try to reactivate my current machine, it is not showing up in the window. I installed windows 10 on a separate partition to troubleshoot something, and when I logged back into my Windows 11 partition...

unfortunately didn't work with game mode off. when i minimize Handbrake window, the cpu usage drops, until I make the window visible again. interestingly, the e-cores shift to 100% load.

when i'm encoding a video via command line, and I minimize the window, cpu usage drops from 100% to 25% I have to keep the command window visible on current desktop to keep cpu pinned to 100%. If I move the cmd window to another virtual desktop that is not in focus, cpu usage also drops big...

it does nothing. When I set this up, I did not make a microsoft account, only a local account. A microsoft account probably would have averted this issue. Since I didn't register a microsoft account, I can't use the hardware change option to fix this deactivation. but as I said before...

I've been using this pc for almost 2 months. this morning I accidentally set a photo as desktop wallpaper. so i went to right click desktop, Personalize and changed it back to solid color. At this time, there was no "not activated" watermark or error. Obviously if it wasn't activated, I would...

got the 0xC004F211 error suddenly but I haven't changed any hardware since I installed and built this new pc in november. I have the same mobo ram, main ssd. Has anyone else had a deactivation for no reason?

yes sorry everyone I meant the digital clock in windows 10. That's the one I want

what happened to the taskbar clock? Windows 10 used to have an analog clock, and seconds i want the whole windows 10 clock back.

I disabled automatic downloads of updates through group policy and right now there are several old items in the list which are older than the versions currently installed, like security intelligence and display driver. if i allow download, will Windows skip these old versions? is there a way...

there are apps i removed, like AAM Updates notifier, which are still in the overflow list. I'd like to permanently remove stuff like Microsoft Teams from the list. where do you permanently remove these items? is there a registry hack?
