Can't re-activate Windows after a BIOS update

After updating my gigabyte z790 aorus elite ax motherboard to the latest BIOS April update, I can no longer activate Windows. When I do the hardware change option under troubleshoot, I get the below message:



I purchased Windows last year. I have talked with Microsoft support, they did a number of CMD command line changes and an in-place update (reinstall of Windows) and none of these worked. They directed me here. In total, I spent 3 hours chatting with them and never got it addressed. I do not want to pay for Windows again. Thanks for the help in advance.
