Help Please!

The other day I was working on my Acer Aspire E5-575 and the water mark to activate windows appeared in the bottom right corner. I have tried to trouble shoot the problem using the Windows Activation Troubleshooter, but I get an error message stating that "Something interrupted our troubleshooting. Make sure that you're connected to the internet, wait a few minutes, and try again". I am connected to the internet and there is no other process going on in the background. I also get an error code 0x80070017. I can not seem to find any solution online. Can anyone help me fix this?

i beleive this was in the news recently as a windows update issue that deactivated copies on windows but i didnt look into it more than a headline.
