windows deactivated itself after a recent update was applied and i cant figure out how to reactivate it

In system there should be a activate link, click on that, type in your product key and activate

Does it give you a 30 day grace period?

What build is your Win10?

This might sound like a random question but when you updated to windows 10 did you log in with a Microsoft account?

Then try activating via telephone.

Open CMD with admin

Type in "slui.exe 4" without quotes and press Enter
