Hey guys :)
 

So here is the thing, I just activated win 10 on my the computer I have been using for a few years now. I used a key I found on the interweb.

And a few seconds after activation, everything went weird. I could not close outlook anymore, and all the titles of folder and files were disappearing.

I was ready to reinstall win with a bootable usb, but decided to restart the computer first. And after restarting, everything went back to normal.

So basically, what the **** was that ?
Does it have anything to do with me activating win10 with a key I found, or was it a coincidence ?

It was most likely Windows just restarting certain services to enable customization. It doesn't allow for certain types of customizations until actived, you see.

You do know that using those keys "found on the interweb" is illegal right? Most of them are generated fake keys or OEM keys. If I was you I would go out and actually buy a legit key or even buy one from a grey market vendor for cheap (not always a good idea). Either way what you did was illegal and talking about it on these forums is not allowed. Please be mindful of the community standards.
