حل مشكلة Activate Windows 10 Pro
Scat Laboy
I'm getting the below error code 0x80072F8F when trying to activate the windows (Windows server 2008 R2). Though i tried the following methods to resolve the issue unfortunately issue remains the same
Method 1: I checked the date, time, year in BIOS and on windows as well and they were accurate. I also set the date or year back and restarted the system (set date one year back, reboot, set actual date, reboot, activate) but no luck
Method 2: Changed the media boot install registry key from 1 to 0
Kindly let me know if there is any workaround to activate windows other than the above mentioned methods.
@Mohammed ShahedI know this thread is pretty old but I'm hoping that this may help someone. I had the same error on Windows Server 2008 R2 activation. Plus I had many other certificate errors when browsing websites. The solution was download the Microsoft update for the Windows Root Certificate Program.
The Windows activation error code 0x80072f8f usually occurs while updating, when the computer is trying to connect to the online activation service, or when the product key is not verified during activation. When the error appears during Windows installation, it could indicate that the computer settings were found invalid during the verification.
Windows activation error code 0x80072f8f could be caused by time and date misconfiguration. The Windows server validates the PC's time and date when activating Windows. However, if the time and date are extremely far from the server time and date, it will throw a Windows activation Error 0x80072f8f.
The above command is used to reset your Windows license status to zero so that all your previous and old expired licenses linked to your system will be removed, and a new license key can be added for activation.
Thank you so much, I was pretty much malding at home for 3 days till I stumbled upon this godsend of a solution! thank you sooo much. I just got a 3070 rig and it was super expensive and I just had to have this problem on a fresh build.
This information saved my butt. working on a clients computer with this exact issue and i almost called it quits and was going to just wipe and reinstall, but thankfully your diligence into fixing it helped tremendously and i came out looking like the hero. TYVM.
What a great solution! I was looking for methods on several websites. None of them are working. Yours is working fine! I will use this method if I found the same error message on some devices. Thanks!
This did not work in my instances on Server2019 but lef me in the right direction. My issue was permissions on c:\windows\system32\spp. Adding Network Services (FC) to that folder did the trick for me.
Running slmgr /ato then connected to my network kms server and activated
Since then, when HDR is activated through the monitor configuration menu, sometimes it happens, that while playing Star Wars Squadrons, Dota 2 or just watching a Twitch Stream, the screen turns black for 5 seconds, and comes back showing the message: Display Port 1 (HDR).
It looks like I may have gotten it to stop by turning off Gsync in the Nvidia settings. I talked to Samsung here in the U.S. and the customer service rep said that the software group was going to look into it. Hopefully they find a fix (and that this does indeed fix it for now, I've had it seemingly go away for a bit then come back numerous times).
For me it was a problem with duel monitors. One the G7 with HDR enabled, the other a small non HDR (I use for hardware monitoring). Once I disconnected the second display, no more issues with the G7 even with G-Sync and HDR enabled. Hope it works for you.
Also hope Samsung can address this. I imagine it's a driver issue, with windows 10 reading both the SDR and HDR monitors and the G7 reading it as a source switch, forcing a HDR 'turn on'. Only a guess as to what's happening but it makes makes a lot of sense.
Yep, that makes sense. Since my last message I discovered that turning off GSync didn't stop the problem. I have the exact same setup - HDR main monitor and non-HDR second monitor. Unfortunately, it's almost 2022 and dual monitor setups are basically the norm, and my 2nd monitor is only a few years old and I don't plan on replacing it any time soon, either.
I got it to stop doing the switching on and off by turning off HDR in the Windows settings. So one of the prime features of this monitor is something I can't use because Samsung is full of half-baked products like the G7 Odyssey and provides very little support. The last driver update they had was over a year ago. You'd think $6-700 monitors would receive more love...
I've to say, in my case with the G5, I've the same problem with HDR OFF in Windows. Moreover I've noticed the overall quality of HDR is really bad so I always preferred to shut it down, since the beginning one year ago. Now the Jog button for monitor menus is DEAD. I cannot believe how low is the quality of these products. At work I'm still using Dell monitors produced in 2008 and they are quite good, with all the buttons working. I'm so disappointed for this waste of money and time.
Yeppers, same here. Either HDR off in Win10 or run one monitor with HDR on. Ideas on work arounds (untested) so far. First: Second monitor (is HDMI, the g7 is on DP) run though onboard graphics. Option B: Second monitor also run though a second DP off of a dedicated GPU card. Tertiary: Remove Samsung drivers and run generic Plug and Play Driver. Fourth: Make the G7 the first listed Monitor by Windows. Currently it's listed second in windows 10, as my 'secondary monitor' was the only monitor for a moment while changing main displays.
Edit: After some testing, just setting the G7 first in the windows order (removing the secondary monitor, then reinstall [hardware only) SEEMS to have resolved the issue on it's own. I've been testing with HDR on, both monitors running and no more issues.
Post Script: It'd be a subset of buyers for sure. But likely the cause for a few users, since replacing the main monitor while leaving the second connected defaults the second monitor to a primary position in Windows. Even setting the G-series as default didn't help while Windows listed it in the 2 spot. Only when I disconnected both monitors then plugged in the G-series first, was the issues resolved while running multi monitors.
@AG83 did you get the problem to stop by running a solo monitor even with HDR on in windows? Would love to have it validated by a second set up. Also is your troubled Samsung listed 1st or some other spot by Windows (more testing needed, but this might be the problem)? Thanks for the help.
I had the same issue. Everytime that the monitor goes off (standby or turned off) and try to turn on, it turn the lights on, HDMI is recognized but the monitor does not turn on and even the OSD stops to work.
I realized that the G7 monitor only turned on after I set the refresh rate to 60Hz on Windows advanced video settings or NVIDIA Control Panel. Different from that, it only turns on if I unplug and plug HDMI again.
You can set to 144Hz after that, but to turn on I always have turn back to 60Hz on Windows or unplug/plug HDMI.
Product Activation was first introduced into the Windows family with the release of Windows XP in 2001. Activation pairs your product key with your computer. It is also used as a mechanism for copy protection in addition to defining support rights, depending on the product channel from which the software was acquired: Retail, OEM, Volume License, or Trial. With Windows 10, Microsoft has made huge announcements regarding product distribution.
The most notable being that Windows 10 is free for existing Windows 7, 8/8.1 users for the first year. Regardless of this, product activation remains a part of Windows 10. In this article, we take a look at product activation and troubleshooting steps.
In previous Windows releases, when you installed an upgrade version of Windows: if you wanted to reinstall the upgrade version, you had first to reinstall the qualifying version from which you upgraded, reactivate it, then upgrade again and reactivate again.
To activate Windows 10 build 10240 (RTM), you must upgrade from a previous qualifying operating system that is genuine and activated. This includes Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, and Windows 10 Insider Previews.
If you are running the Windows 10 Enterprise Preview, you either need to stay in the Windows 10 Insider Preview Program, or activate using a product key from the Volume License Service Center (VLSC.) If you are not eligible to be running Windows 10 Enterprise, I suggest you make preparations to roll back to the original version of Windows your system was licensed for, and make a reservation to upgrade to Windows 10.
Please be aware that you cannot use the free upgrade offer to perform a clean install on the first attempt! You must first upgrade from the qualifying version of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 (whether you do it through Windows Update or using the ISO file.) Ensure the upgrade is completed successfully and then ensure that it is activated. You can then proceed to do a clean install by using recovery media or using the Reset function in Start > Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Reset this PC (Get Started.)
Your best option is to reinstall a valid license you have for either Windows 7, Windows 8.0, or Windows 8.1, make sure it is activated, then upgrade from that to Windows 10 on July 29th or later. If you maintain your current activated Windows 10 Preview, you should be able to upgrade it to the final release.
This issue particularly affects Windows 7 licenses. If you purchased your Windows 7 license from an auction website such as eBay or the Amazon, you might have mistakenly purchased a counterfeit copy. You can determine this by the product ID which determines your level of support.
Scroll down to Windows Activation and look at the PID It will look something like the following 12345-067-1234567-54321, the portion you are interested in is the three digit section if it matches or is within one or two digits of the examples above you probably have an MSDN or TechNet key.
