Hi,
If you got Windows 8 RTM, this issue may be caused by missing product key or incorrectly installing product key.
Please try these fixes:

  • Windows 8 not active after factory reset

    I bought this laptop a year ago in US, with windows 8 and was upgradable to 8.1. I upgraded and was using 8.1, until 2 days before when system crashed. I was not able to perform a system restore, therefore did a factory reset. Now when the system boots or when i try to upgrade, its asking for an activation code which I dont have. I was in the assumption that the system restore version of windows should have a valid license key but its not the same in my case .
    please advise.
    Additional information: windows update are still working. not sure if this is helpful.
    Thanks in advance for responding.

    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers.
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I understand that you have done a factory recovery and it is now asking for the activation code.
    The code is stored in the bios and  it should automatically pick it up .
    Here  is a link to Windows 8 Product Activation to assist you.

  • Flash lags when Safari window is not active

    Whenever I have a flash video playing in one window, and then the window loses focus (I select a different window to be active), the video lags. I understand this is probably a feature to conserve resources, however I find this really annoying. I was wondering if there was a way to make it so this doesn't happen.
    Thanks

    Nope, no way to change it I'm afraid.

    Hi @lazirus ,
    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

  • Windows 8 not activating after factory reset

    I recently did a factory reset to my Hp Envy 17. Once i went throgh all the steps and signed in to windows 8 I thought I was done since the product key to windows is embedded in the system BIOS. I noticed a little later that my computer was asking me to activate windows 8. So i went into my setting and typed in my windows 8 product key that came preinstalled on my Envy 17. Once I typed in the Product Key  I got a message that said "Activate Windows. The product key on this PC didn't work. You might need to contact the company that built this computer, or buy a new key." I have tried reinstlling windows 3 different times and tried typing in the product key on windows 8 and windows 8.1, both times the product key was not recognised, and i know i didnt type the key incorrectly or have the wrong i double chcked i had the right key by checking on belarc advisor. I have tried many ways to fix the problem and every time it does not work. It seems as though my key has maybe become corrupt some how. I also still have my hp warranty that came with my laptop if that helps at all.

    as far i can tell you and i have not yet restore a pc that is windows 8 yet  but previous versions which i  have had and  never was asked the activation nor it failed to update the pc because it was already activated and stored on microsoft end when you run your computer the first time and also even when i used the extra hard drive and it was window 8.1 iso disc that i got downloaded from microsoft legit-ly from microsoft site  and it appears microsoft recognized my pc because it was related to my email logging on with microsoft email but as  my extra older hard drive from an older defunct pc and when i was upgrading my older vista pc to windows 7 on my second  hard drive on my quad processor pc  it did ask for the product which i have bought from the store and there was no problem with my activation issues with microsoft    

  • Windows 7 not activating after deployment

    I have 3 networks which are all deploying Windows 7. Two networks are using VMWare and the other one is using WDS. When the machines are deployed they state windows will try and activate in 3 days but it never does. I can get the machines to activate either
    by pressing activate now or running a command prompt at administrator level and using the slmgr /ato command. Is there any way of automating this?

    Hi,
    Are we using KMS to activate Windows 7 here?
    For configuring the KMS clients, please see:
    Configuring KMS Clients
    We may try to run slmgr.vbs /ckms to enable Auto-discovery the KMS hosts.
    More information, please check the above article.

    Then you need to take it back to where you bought it and ask them for help? What are you talking about ID is invalid? This part is confusing and not very clear?

  • Webbrowser control window not activated

    I have a multi-child application, some of them holds a MS Webbrowser control loading an html document containing an applet.
    When selecting an applet by clicking on it, the corresponding child window is not activated but the focus is well transfered to a textfield owned by the applet.
    The previously activated child window steal appears activated
    When using TAB on that child window, focus traversal seems to still work well
    But when typing alpha keys, corresponding generated text goes to the applet's textfield.
    Anyone could help me please, it's a very annoying problem
    Thanks

  • Qms$trans_errors windows not active

    Designer 9.0.2.7
    Headstart 6.5
    Oracle 8.1.7 database
    When errors are raised from tapi's en capi's the error window works fine.
    When I raise an error from a stored procedure the error window is raised but is NOT ACTIVE. The user first has to click somewhere in the error screen to see the error message.
    Any ideas?

    More information
    Form with a button which executes a stored procedure on the database.
    Somewhere in the stored procedure a message is raised with: qms$errors.show_message
    When I push the button the message is raised from the server into the qms$trans_errors windows. The problem is that this window is not active. I've found out that the Form navigates from the qms$trans_errors windows back to the main window. Why?? I don't know, How?? I wish i knew.
    If i put the call to the stored procedure in the on-commit trigger (instead of in a button) the problem does not occur.

  • When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

    When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

    Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
    You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
    // Get the icon from the b3 button
    var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
    // Get  reference to the b0 button
    var f = getField("b0");
    // Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
    f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
    // Show the b0 button
    f.display = display.visible;
    This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.

  • My Windows 8.1 is not activated?

    HI,
    As I was going through buying Microsoft Office just last night. I came across my computer specs an OS details and it says that my current System isn't activated. I bought this laptop as a return/floor model/refurbished product at Best Buy and it did not come with said Windows DVD or papers. The computer, i was told, was only reset and checked for physical and hardware/sytem damage. When I bought it it had alrerady had everything installed. All I had to do was register it under my personal info ect. 
    So know I'm left without being able to activate my laptop the I bought under a month ago and I have no idea how to fix it. Anyone have any tips on how to activate the OS. Is it even necessary to activate it. Will I be able to download and run all my programs like, Autodesk software: Revit, AutoCAD, Maya and Design Suite etc, MS Office, Adobe, without any problems?
    PS my PC say its got a current keycode active, but on the <Control Panel> <System and Security> <System> <Windows Activation> it says windows not activated. When I follow the active -> Activate Online, it says cannot activate online. 
    Any help ya'll can throw at me is very well appreciated. Thank ya'll in advanced. 

    Desco,
    Welcome to the HP Forum.
    I am NOT the best one to answer this question -- I do not know that much about how all the ways a system gets into this state; I might miss something obvious. 
    I will try to help.
    Because you bought the computer at a legitimate local retail store, you can try going back to them and see what they say -- Best Buy on the West Coast does have a varied history of customer satisfaction, so good luck with that.
    You might be able to get help from Microsoft Windows -- yes, really.  If the software is legitimate, they might be able to help.
    Start here:  Why can't I activate Windows?
    This document is not really a match to your situation; it is a "well, this is your creek and paddle area".
    You might be able to get help over the phone -- again from Microsoft -- the tech probably knows the questions to ask and you have, well, what you have.  You can ask.
    You might be able to get help from an actual Microsoft Store if you live in or near a large metropolitan area when you can find a Microsoft brick-and-mortar retail store.  Take your Best Buy receipt and plead your case.  This sometimes works when talking on the phone will not -- you can prove who you are, at least.
    ============================================================================
    Purchase Windows 8.1 Pro
    If you purchased the computer for enough off from the original purchase price, think of this as the "bait and switch" part of the deal -- you may have to purchase a new copy of Windows 8.1 Pro.
    The good news about purchasing new software -- it's yours and the problem is solved.

    Empty the Safari cache more often.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • The Files window in Dreamweaver stays in front when it is not active

    How do I get the Files window in Dreamweaver CC to 'jump' behind the active window. It is VERY ANNOYING(!) as it is now when it stays in front on the screen although it is not active. I remember it was like this in an earlier version of DW also, but it was fixed after an update.
