Cheers Hazel,

I do like the statement that-

"our engineers are working tirelessly to resolve this issue."

Is that an admission that the wheels have come off?

We don't have a post rating system here dbarajas.

We just all try to help each other :)

EDIT..

Hot off the press.. apparently Microsoft says they have fixed it, this bit is supposed to be working correctly now

Go to Settings (via Action center > All settings or Windows key + i) 

Navigate to Update &amp; Security &gt; Activation

Well, we have the File Association failure bug waiting in the wings to be mended

And the reg backup creation failure too waiting to be fixed.

No. They make overly complex closed-source bug ridden software & OSes that's obviously a chore for them to bug fix and patch security holes in -- and we're the test subjects, and we pay for it as the OS price is baked into a new PC price.
