Hey everyone! I got my PC about six months ago and it came with Windows 11 pre-activated. Everything was running smoothly until recently when I started seeing the Windows activation label pop up after just two hours of turning on my PC. I've tried troubleshooting, but nothing seems to help. Does anyone have any solutions to this annoying issue?

Have you tried running a command in the admin command prompt? You can use `slmgr /ato` to attempt to activate it again. And check what happens when you enter `slmgr /xpr`. It might give you specific info about what's going wrong with the activation.
First off, where did you get your Windows license? That could be a factor. If you're not sure, it's worth checking with the company that built your PC since they would have installed Windows for you. Also, make sure that your activation keys are visible in the settings; they might still show up there.
I ran it and got this error: 0xC004F074. It said the computer couldn't be activated because no Key Management Service could be contacted. I'm not sure what that means.
