Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts/issues/1314

Windows 10 activation disappears after a couple of hours or a day. A watermark appears. I've tried cleaning the activation, installing hwid, and tsforge. Fix licensing and fixing the wpa registry don't help. I'm attaching a screenshot of the activation status (it's currently "sort of" activated and there's no watermark) and a screenshot of hwid activation. Can anyone help?

Send a new screenshot of check activation status once the watermark shows up again

Отправьте новый скриншот статуса активации чека, как только водяной знак снова появится.

How did you get .jpg images, LOL. xF Put PNGs please, the fuzzy images are killing me..:) Anyway, check out "in-place upgrade" to Windows 10 LTSC (IoT, Enterprise edition, extended upgrades; instead of the retail version clown show); github[.]com/TheMMC/In-Place_Upgrade_Helper/blob/main/README.md

No tool is necessary to in-place upgrade. Please follow this instead:
