[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 69673, post: 799699"] It appears you got an update in Jan 19th that was messed up. it has since been fixed. Did you try updating again? "Microsoft has rolled out fixes for serious bugs that surfaced after last week's Patch Tuesday update for Windows 7 machines, which blocked network shares and wrongly reported legitimate instances of Windows 7 as 'not genuine'. Microsoft on Friday revealed that the false 'not genuine' notifications and activation failures were not caused by last week's cumulative update or security-only patch for Windows 7. Instead, the notifications were down to a change it had made to the Microsoft Activation and Validation Server that coincided with the patch release. The events are not related, according to Microsoft. Microsoft [URL='https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/4487266/activation-failures-and-not-genuine-notifications-on-vl-win-7-kms-clie']says[/URL] it reverted the change to its backend activation and validation server on January 9, a day after sysadmins discovered Windows 7 PCs were affected" [/QUOTE]
