Windows Server 2012 Foundation - lost activation after update
Hello, after an update about 2 weeks ago, Server 2012 Foundation lost its activation and cannot be reactivated, most functions do not work, I can't get to windows update to uninstall packages. I can't access update package information from the command line either.
Sounds badly broken, some things to try
- sfc /scannow
- dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
- additional resources for Windows Update - Windows Client | Microsoft Learn (manual steps)
- a repair install by running setup.exe from the root of install media
Ryvar72 just checking if there's any progress or updates? please don't forget to mark helpful replies.
