Activate Windows - Go to settings to activate windows

Why am I seing this message in the bottom corner of my computer. I have been using windows 11 since it came out?
Can't think it is a scam.

I typed in activate windows on the search bar and got this...

    Your Windows 11 license may have expired or become invalid. This can happen if there was a change in hardware (like a motherboard replacement), or if you're using a trial version that has reached its deadline.

    Your Windows license might have been deactivated or is no longer valid. This can happen if you've made significant hardware changes (like changing your motherboard) or if you're using a version that was not properly activated.
