Hi Saumya,

Give these steps a try:


1. Disconnect your PC from the internet



2. Go to Control Panel > Uninstall a program > Click View installed updates


Under Microsoft Windows > Find KB971033 > and Uninstall this update.


3. Go to Control Panel> Windows update > Change setting and select"Never check for updates" > OK



4. Next, click Start > Type "cmd" > Right-click on cmd > Choose Run as administrator



Type in > slmgr -rearm hit Enter and then reboot your pc.



After restarting your PC, you'll see that your copy of Windows has been activated.

It is also a good idea to scan your computer for malware or other infections, before you start using your computer and turn on Windows Updates.

Hi Saumya,

There appears to have been an issue with the Product key Activation/Validation servers that only effected a subset of Digitally Distributed Product keys.

User affected by this issue should no longer be seeing this Non-Genuine/Key Blocked error.

If you do still see this error:

1) Reboot and then re-try Activating or Validating.

2) If you still see the issue, please contact Microsoft Assisted Support (at one of the below URLs)

North America: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_genadv_master?ws=support&ws=support#tab4

Outside North America:

I hope this helps.

Thanks.
