The Windows activation window may appear for those users who either use a pirated version of the operating system, or have not yet had time to activate the software product.
Windows operating system authentication (Windows activation) is a procedure that checks for the presence of original files in the operating system and the license itself (including the key that was entered during OS installation). If the operating system has not passed such a test, then the user's ability to work with the computer is significantly reduced. Usually, when the operating system fails the check, a corresponding message appears in the far right corner of the desktop.
The most popular way
There are several reasons for this message and several solutions. First, not all personal computer users can afford to buy a licensed version of the operating system, since one disk can cost more than five thousand rubles. If a licensed copy is not installed on the computer, then you must first disable the OS update service. If, nevertheless, this service was not disabled on time and a black screen appeared, indicating that the copy of Windows was not authenticated, then you need to uninstall the updates: KB971033 and KB915597. To find and delete them, you need to right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties" in the context menu. In the properties, the user needs to select "Windows Update" and go to the "Installed Updates" tab. A whole list of all the updates that have ever been installed and are used to this day will appear here. Using the search, you need to find messages of the form: "Update for Microsoft Windows KB915597" and "Update for Microsoft Windows KB971033". It is worth noting that the first update is used by the standard Windows Defender (Widnows Defender), which is analogous to antivirus software. These updates must be selected and removed using the appropriate button.
Disable service and special software features
In addition, the problem may also lie in the sppsvc service. As a result, it must be found and disabled. This can be done in the "Administration" menu, which is located in the "Control Panel". When the "Administration" window opens, you need to go to the "Services" tab and use the search to find sppsvc. When it is found, it must be disabled (the "Stop" button). As a result, the computer needs to be restarted and the problem should be resolved.
It is worth noting that there is a special program with which you can remove the Windows activation window - RemoveWAT21. This small program is capable of solving an urgent problem in all possible ways (of which there are many). It can either work with updates, or with the registry, etc. In order to get rid of the activation window, you just need to download RemoveWAT21 and press the special “RemoveWAT” button. After restarting the computer, the operating system activation window will disappear. If necessary, you can restore the original data using the "Restore WAT" button.
