Corvid19 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Slightly disturbing that an online outage also left users no way of searching for local files and apps. https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-search-down-many-showing-blank-box-instead-search-results?utm_source=wp&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=social_share&utm_content= Xenon and Jim K 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvid19 Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Incidentally, although not directly related I also issues with Microsoft's activation service today as well while trying to activate a Windows 7 box (in order to perform the free upgrade to Windows 10) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was something to do with unexpected certificate expiration. Checking with people today anyone that was having an issue is now able to log.

Jim K Global Moderator Posted February 5, 2020 Global Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2020 Oooo. Noticed that issue this morning when I was briefly on my notebook before work. Didn't think much of it (aside from "that's weird" and it'll be ok after work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think VL keys will work for the free upgrade. Maybe pro version, definitely not enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shockz Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Som said: free upgrade works with enterprise, done it many times You have a Windows 10 VLMK/MAK/CSVLK/GVLK key installed on a KMS server as well? I have yet to see an Enterprise version of Windows 7/8.1 upgrade to 10 be activated, unless there is a corresponding key installed on a KMS server within that domain. Not to mention most VL activated systems need to check-in with a KMS server after a set period of time to maintain their activation, which would require your KMS has a legit activation key to pull against for that relevant version of Windows.
