Couple of quick bullets:
User is seeing prompt in the lower right corner of the desktop showing that Windows is not Activated. Navigating to the Activation tool, the following is displayed:
Edition: Windows 10 Enterprise
Subscription: Windows 10 Enterprise Subscription is active
Activation: Windows is not activated
Windows reported that the hardware of your device has changed. 0xC004F211
Attempts to use the Troubleshooter fail with a prompt to contact the system administrator (me).
The article here states that there is an exception path which can be accessed via Start > Settings > Update & Security > Activation and then to Select Troubleshoot and states that if the troubleshooter cannot resolve the issue I will see a link to reactivate after a hardware change.
1) There has been no hardware change
2) The troubleshooter provides no link
Is anyone able to assist in identifying how I can successfully activate Windows on this device?
