Title: Activate Windows - "Go to PC Settings"
Post by: brianhenke on March 19, 2016, 08:48:14 PM

   I own a Gateway SX2185. Ever since Super Bowl Sunday, I have been interrupted with a blue screen and this message:
 
  "Activate Windows"

   Then a box appears - "Go To PC Settings".
 
   They need a 25-letter and number key to activate it, but when I typed it, all I got was "This key didn't work...", etc. 
 
   I keep getting this Error Code: "Error Code: 0X8004FC12". What does this mean?

   This has been driving me up the wall for a month now. What should I do? >:(

Call Microsoft....they usually resolve registration issues very quickly...
