Im having problems activating windows, i think its because the software protection service isnt running, and I cant start it

getting error code 5 no access

I`ve tried giving myself ownership and full access to sppsvc.exe, but still the same message

tried

sfc /scannow

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

no problems

I used the factory reset fuction

windows 8.1

Home(i think)

You better be performing Clean Installation.

 

Factory Reset function is a garbage.

 

Download the respective OS file from this site's provided tool.

 

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

 

Right Click on COmputer --> Properties, Please check whats under Windows Edition, Then download the respective OS. Most laptop comes with Windows 8.1 Single Language. Not sure on your system.
