Build 25921 - Windows Activation GUI broken?
It would appear in Build 25921 that the GUI interface (Windows Settings) for Product Activation is broken. If you click on the link on the System -> About page, nothing happens.
I was able to activate my Datacenter desktop experience build by going to Terminal (Nice addition!) and type in:
slmgr.vbs /ipk aaaaa-bbbbb-ccccc-ddddd-eeeee
I of course typed in the correct prerelease product key. After a few moments, it worked!
I imagine this is a known issue...

- Yeah, I'm having this same issue when trying to open the about section, I was trying to see my hardware info without going to msconfig32, but was forced to do that anyways
Since Server 2016 I am used to run "slui 3" from start -> execute since Server 2016 had a bug for the first few month similar to the one you describe here.
slmgr.vbs is my secondary way since slui cannot delete a key.but client version has no this issue, dont no why.
