Windows 10 Technical Preview 9926 activation

I just upgraded my Windows 10 Techincal Preview 9879 to the new 9926 build, and it seems needs to be activated.
I tried to use the product key displayed on the ISO download page (NKJFK-GPHP7-G8C3J-P6JXR-HQRJR), but it doesn't work.
Also if I try to just activate the Windows with the older key, it says: "Windows can't activate. Try again later."
So, the problem is with me or the OS? What should I do?

I had the same problem. This has happened to me on every in-place upgrade in the Technical Preview. I don't understand why it's not activated automatically. I noticed that the time service is not running (why, I don't know), so I cannot sync my time automatically
with time.windows.com under Internet Time Settings. My time setting is correct however.
Regardless, since it would not accept automatic activation, I found the correct product key to enter in this thread:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install/default-product-key-for-windows-10-technical/fda85fbc-4f4e-47ec-ae84-3b6759723450
For Enterprise edition use this product key: PBHCJ-Q2NYD-2PX34-T2TD6-233PK
It worked for me.
Note: there are also some updates available for this build, so install those and maybe that will help.
I've had problems with activation after the in-place upgrade from 9879 to 9926. Upgraded Windows showed it wasn't activated. Any attempts to activate it failed.
I tried to force activation by typing
slui 3
and used the well-known PBHCJ-Q2NYD-2PX34-T2TD6-233PK key. No luck. Windows reported that it cannot be activated with this key.
Resorted to do a clean install of 9926. I am highly surprised with what I saw regarding the update from 9879 to 9926. Even now when I write these lines, I can't: use ENTER (doesn't create a new line in the post text box), use DEL, only
BackSpace works. I mean, even Microsoft forums don't work flawless with new IE. That is to say that I wasn't surprised Windows didn't update and activate properly; seems like MSFT did many changes to this build since 9879. The 9926 seems to
be a completely new Windows in many parts, not only the UI/UX. 
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

    Hi Dhana1989,
    If you download the installation media from that link above, the activation key should be this one:
    NKJFK-GPHP7-G8C3J-P6JXR-HQRJR
    Normally, Windows 10 Technical Preview is activated automatically during installation. If you get a prompt for activation, I suggest you follow this steps:
    1. Open Administrative command prompt (Windows key+x > A)
    2. Type: SLUI 3
    This would bring the following prompt for you:
    Type the key above to check the result. Make sure you are connecting to Internet.

  • Windows 10 Technical Preview 9926 product key doesn't work

    I upgraded build 9926 for about one month and now it keeps asking me to activate. It was activated already when I installed it. 
    I‘ve tried the two product keys from another threads which are NKJFK-GPHP7-G8C3J-P6JXR-HQRJR and PBHCJ-Q2NYD-2PX34-T2TD6-233PK.
    Also tried to run command as administrator and type SLUI 3 anyway it's the same thing so... 
    The pro & Enterprise ones both not work for me. And it says I have to activate it before March 15th.
    Help guys!

    No one is getting a build beyond 9926 yet. It is the only one currently
    available.

  • About the error: "The account is not authorized to login from this station" when you access NAS devices from Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926)

    Scenario:
    With the release of Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926), some users may encounter an error message of “The account is not authorized to login from this station” when trying to access remote files saved in NAS storage. In
    addition, the following error log may also be found via Event Viewer:
    Rejected an insecure guest logon.
    This event indicates that the server attempted to log the user on as an unauthenticated guest but was denied by the client. Guest logons do not support standard security features such as signing and encryption. As a result,
    guest logons are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks that can expose sensitive data on the network. Windows disables insecure guest logons by default. Microsoft does not recommend enabling insecure guest logons.
    Background:
    The error message is due to a change we made in Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926) which is related to security and remote file access that may affect you.
    Previously, remote file access includes a way of connecting to a file server without a username and password, which was termed as “guest access”.
    With guest access authentication, the user does not need to send a user name or password.
    The security change is intended to address a weakness when using guest access.  While the server may be fine not distinguishing among clients for files (and, you can imagine in the home scenario that it doesn’t
    matter to you which of your family members is looking at the shared folder of pictures from your last vacation), this can actually put you at risk elsewhere.  Without an account and password, the client doesn’t end up with a secure connection to the server. 
    A malicious server can put itself in the middle (also known as the Man-In-The-Middle attack), and trick the client into sending files or accepting malicious data.  This is not necessarily a big concern in your home, but can be an issue when you take your
    laptop to your local coffee shop and someone there is lurking, ready to compromise your automatic connections to a server that you can’t verify.  Or when your child goes back to the dorm at the university. The change we made removes the ability to connect
    to NAS devices with guest access, but the error message which is shown in build 9926 does not clearly explain what happened. We are working on a better experience for the final product which will help people who are in this situation. 
    As a Windows Insider you’re seeing our work in progress; we’re sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused.
    Suggestion:
    You may see some workarounds (eg. making a registry change restores your ability to connect with guest access).
    We do NOT recommend making that change as it leaves you vulnerable to the kinds of attacks this change was meant to protect you from.
    The recommended solution is to add an explicit account and password on your NAS device, and use that for the connections.  It is a one-time inconvenience,
    but the long term benefits are worthwhile.  If you are having trouble configuring your system, send us your feedback via the Feedback App and post your information here so we can document additional affected scenarios.

  • [Forum FAQ]Start Menu Scroll Issue in Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

    Scenario:
    When upgrading to Window 10 Technical Preview Build 9926 from Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9879, you may notice that on the start menu, when you move mouse to the right side, it won’t scroll until you click it.
    Solution:
    This is because the value of the key DWORD
    MouseWheelRouting which is under
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop values changed to 0 after upgrade.
    Note:
    Before you make changes to a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy, of the key or subkey.
    Press Windows logo key +R to open Run, type
    regedit, and then press Enter to open Registry Editor.
    Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop.
    On the right side, change the value of the DWORD MouseWheelRouting
    to non-0 and non-1, for example 2, 3, which is set to 1 by default.
    Exit Registry Editor. 
    Sign out and sign back.

    same issue in build 10049.
    It would help to be more specific in the symptom description.  E.g. using Narrator may help.  (Win-Enter).  Does it say what you are "seeing" (or should be seeing)?
    FWIW I think it is relatively easy to reproduce symptoms which are related to this thread's description using Narrator (Start Screen without Search bar, Search bar without Taskbar, or Search bar with Taskbar but without Start Menu
    when the only time that the Search bar should appear is when the Start Menu is there, for example) so that could also help specify what your real symptom is.  BTW there are horrendous delays when using Narrator.

  • Error 0x80248014 on Windows Update on Windows 10 Technical Preview Enterprise beta build 9926.

    Hi
    As I download the new ISO and do a software Windows Updates.
    I cannot seems to get any software updates at my end. Windows update cannot find any updates for Windows Defender.
    My latest Windows 10 Technical Preview version 9926 cannot seems to find any software updates.
    I keep getting this error.0x80248014!
    I keep getting this error since I have the first Beta Build 9841 and 9879. I did not have the download of 9860.
    I wonder there is a missing Windows Update at the Control Panel.
    I have to search all over the place where is the Windows Update??? The GUI is very confusing for a First Timer like me!
    See my screen capture.

    mrdbeta,
    Click the Retry button > if you have a Windows defender Update available, it will show up on the list together with a new build such as 9935 Professional. (See my screenshot at the end of the post.)
    The system will start installing and when it finishes, it will give you the same error message. That's OK. It shows the error message because it is unable to install the new build which is NOT applicable to
    us, the general users. Those new builds, 9931, 9932, 9934, and lately 9935 are meant for MSFT only.
    Click Advanced options > click View your updates history. Your most recent Windows Defender update should be listed. If yes, you are OK. Nothing to worry about.
    MS is well aware of the mistake. They will get it fixed soon. Please read the excerpt below from Inside Hub......
    Windows Insiders who have installed KB3035129 may see reports in the Settings app under Update & recovery that a new preview build is available. Attempts to download the new build result in Error 0x80246017.
    KB3035129 included a code change which unintentionally had the side effect of changing targeting for builds, allowing builds that are exclusive to Microsoft employees to appear available. No new builds are available which are newer than 9926 at this point.
    We will issue another update shortly to correct the issue and ensure that Windows Insiders are able to successfully get the next build which is made available to you. We apologize for the confusion and thank you for your continued participation
    and feedback.
    ***** In the web, there is a registry modification dealing with this issue. I would suggest that you just wait for MS to sort it out. If you want to try the registry hack, google for it. Use it at your own risk

  • [Forum FAQ] How to show Windows Update in Control Panel in Clean Installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

    Scenario
    If you performed a clean installation of the new Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926, you would find Windows Update is only available in
    Settings and is hidden in Control Panel by default. However, Windows Update is still available in Control Panel if it is an upgrade version of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926.
    Solution
    After the comparison of the two different version, the differences is the following registry:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled
    In clean installation version:
    In upgrade version:
    The method to make Windows Update show in Control Panel in the clean installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926:
    Edit the REG_DWORD value of IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled from 1 to 0.

    We’ve seen a few forum posts talking about changing registry keys to alter the update experience we shipped in Technical Preview build 9926. There are a couple of reasons that we don’t recommend doing things like that.
    First, the default experience is what we’ve tested across not just the Windows 10 team, but across all of Microsoft before we released it to you. That doesn’t mean that you won’t still find bugs, but it’s definitely the code that’s been most thoroughly
    tested. Changing things back to older versions is risky because the combination of those old settings with the rest of Windows 10 is not something that’s been validated or supported, so we can’t predict the side effects. It’s possible that changing registry
    settings related to update could cause a machine to no longer be able to get new updates or Technical Preview builds.
    The other reason to avoid changing the default update experience is that a lot of update-related code is actually being re-written in order to scale across the variety of different device types Windows 10 will support. Since Technical Previews are
    a work-in-progress, some code that may still be in build 9926 won’t actually ship in the final version of Windows 10 that we provide to all our customers, so trying to re-enable that code temporarily won’t provide a way to accurately assess Windows 10’s update
    capabilities.
    We want to hear your feedback! We’re sharing Technical Preview releases early so we can understand exactly how customers are using our software and make sure we are designing our experiences to address those scenarios. The more
    specific the feedback, the more helpful it is for us – saying “I hate the new Windows Update UI” isn’t very useful, but when we see “I need to be able to tell Windows Update to grab updates from WU itself and not from my internal corporate server, so the new
    Windows Update UI is painful for me”, we can actually understand what changes we could make to solve those specific problems. We can’t promise to fix everything that everyone asks for – and sometimes what one customer wants is exactly what another customer
    doesn’t want – but the more you can help us understand why you want something changed, the better we can try to meet those needs.
    Thanks for listening, and we look forward to hearing your responses.
