Windows 10 activation after reset

[SilverOHM]

Hello everyone. Im here because i've recently run into an issue with my fairly new pc and decided to do a reset. I went into the windows 10 settings app and went to recovery and then chose the "reset this PC" option. Since then my computer is working as it should again ,but i ran into a strange issue. In the windows settings app it says " windows isn't activated. Activate windows now." With a link to the activation section in the settings app. However, when i go to accounts, sign in to my microsoft account and click "manage my microsoft account" i can find where it says i have a version of windows 10 linked to my account. It even says in the about section in system settings that i have windows 10 home with a version # and build os #. I try to access the activation settings but all i ever see is the indicator that its loading and it never fully loads and therefore i cant access those settings. If anyone has run into this problem before and fixed it or has knowledge of how to fix this i would really appreciate it if you could let me know how.

 

For the record i did buy windows 10 in the last 2 months or so and still have my original key on hand if needed.

You can try and force your cd key with CMD as a admin
