Cant activate windows 11 after BIOS update

Yeah, i updated my BIOS, same motherboard, no hardware changes at all.

yet i cant activate windows 11, its digital, and i activated it once by digital/login.

 

I get this "answer" when running the troubleshooter :

 

"We can’t activate your copy of Windows because the digital licence for this device has already been used to reactivate Windows."

 

Again, no hardware changes, just updated BIOS.

 

What can I do ?

  • Can you check your Microsoft account page, verify if your system is showing activated there?

    Go to system activation and select a hardware change was made. Select your computer name and windows 11 will reactivate.
