Insider build 17040 issue - indowsActivate W

After 17040 installed yesterday, I now have an activate windows message in the bottom right corner. When I go to the activation tab it shows me an error code of 0xC004F034. When you run the troubleshooter it says it found the digital license for Insider Pro on a system running Insider Pro. Tells me to go to the store and buy Windows 10 Insider Pro. This system has a genuine installation of Windows 10 since day one. How do I fix this problem?
I have seen this error before myself. Something has changed with Windows Activation in the last year or so. Unfortunately, I have not found any way to fix it aside from a clean install of Windows 10 Pro. Maybe someone else has an easier solution.

Have you filed or upvoted in the FH?  Does it go away if you re-install the FCU and then opt back into the Insider Program?
