Has anyone else run into activation issues after upgrading to Windows 11? My Win?

Agreed. If that still doesn't stick, a quick call to the automated activation line often forces it through.

Can confirm. You could also try the slmgr /rearm command in an admin Command Prompt as a last resort before a full reinstall.

Yeah, that slmgr trick can help. Also, double-check your Microsoft account is linked to your digital license in Settings > Activation.

Agreed, linking the account is key. Sometimes just signing out and back into your Microsoft account in the Activation settings can kick it loose.
