    Hi.

    I have three separate issues that I feel might be related, but appreciate someone’s help. I purchased and set up my own laptop, my wife’s laptop, and my mom’s desktop when they were new. All running Windows 10 that come preloaded. Within a couple week time here recently, My wife’s laptop somehow lost her windows 25 digit key, and my own laptop lost it but seemed to regain it again on a reboot, and my mom’s computer is now also giving the same error notice in the bottom right corner of the screen.

    I have always had a licensed Malware and Kaspersky on all three since new.

    All are different brands of box store variety (Lenovo, HP and Dell), so I didn’t think that is the issue. I did buy a Windows 10 key a couple weeks ago for my wife’s laptop, as hers was the 1st hit, but all three are having other software issue conflicts now with firewall and such. The computer I am using here is giving a constant windows update required on reboot indication.

    I am suspicious of a corrupt activity, as I was one of those 1st 50,000 people that got their stuff hacked from Cambridge Analytica. But probably unrelated. I threw that in there for my reflection of my attitude about this crap. I know the three computers are related by my Microsoft account.

    Also, on a side discussion, why don’t the computers come with the Key printed somewhere? So it is expected that as a customer we all must somehow dig into our registry to document our windows key when we purchase a preloaded system???

    Stupid.

    Thanks for helping stomp out this little conspiracy….
