Hi #lavish, this does seem to be an issue caused by the 1803 update, a lot of users are reporting this over the last few days . . .

Click the link below to download a small utility which will find your Windows 10 Product Key

http://neosmart.net/OemKey/

Go to Settings - Update and Security - Activation

Try entering that product key there to activate Windows

Otherwise, have that product key at hand and contact Microsoft Support and ask them to help you re-activate your Windows 10

Hi #lavish,

Open the Settings App

Go to System - About

Whet version of Windows 10 is reported there, is it Pro or Enterprise?

Then in the Settings App, go to Update and Security - Activation

Does Activation report that 'Windows is activated using your Organisation's Activation server'?

If so:

It is likely that the Windows 10 licence you are running is a volume licence version and is meant to run in a Company or organisation where the activation is re-armed on a regular basis . . .

Do you know the history of your PC or version of Windows?

If your PC is second hand or Windows was reinstalled, it is likely that version of Windows came from a company environment or it is a cracked version of Windows

Hi #lavish, if you do not know the history of that PC, I would say at some stage, that PC was upgraded with a volume Windows 10 licence . . .

Open Windows File Explorer

Navigate to C:\Windows

Search that folder for KMS

If you do not find it there, search both these folders for KMS

C:\Program Files

C:\Program Files (x86)

Do you find a file with KMS in the name?
