A message has appeared on some users (mainly Pro apparently) desktops saying Windows needs activating. Microsoft have acknowledged the fault and will release a fix asap:

Windows 10 suddenly deactivated
 
I managed to activate again but had to phone them. It's now stating activated but not with my usual digital license and my machine has disappeared from my device list on Microsoft. Was most odd as I installed Pro but it kept telling me it was home.
 
the issue is Microsoft and its up to them to fix it
 
It appears Microsoft has fixed the fault. This issue can now be resolved properly by activating Windows using the Activation troubleshooter, found under Settings>Update & Security>Activation.
