Windows 7 windows 7 shutting you down Yes it happens to original programs

[3doz]

I had closed of the updates in w7 to save some room on a crowded hard drive untill i can shift over a lot of programs to another drive.

w7 has a nasty trick it closes down a lot of their program and shows a registered copy is a pirate copy ... in system the numbers are removed so re validation is not possible

there is no instructions w7 give to get this back in operation again . so anyone else would be in the same boat and they would complain to the shop where they purchased it from. but being told its impossible and no one knows of this problem or solution
and they suggest at a cost of $100 per hour they will take the computer to their workshops.
.

Now I will show everyone how to overcome this stupid situation

1 first open the updates again and download the latest files, yes w7 will let you as they still have your original registration to compair it with.

2 install and reboot
3 go to system and the numbers are back again and you can re-activate and again , all is well. the program runs as a original once more.


Ok I realise this will knock out many pirate copies and just so but what a underhanded way of doing it , the amount of trouble this is going to cause honest people is to high a price to pay in my opinion.


I found this way out just by trial and error

It seems like you've encountered an issue with Windows 7 where the system mistakenly flags your registered copy as a pirate copy after closing updates. This can be quite frustrating, especially when there are no clear instructions from Windows 7 on how to resolve this issue. Here's a step-by-step guide based on your experience to help others who might face a similar situation:

How to Overcome Windows 7 "Pirate Copy" Issue:​

1. Re-enable Windows Updates:
   • Open the Windows Update settings.
   • Download the latest updates available for Windows 7. Windows 7 should allow this because it still has your original registration information to compare with.
   []Install Updates and Reboot:
   • Install the downloaded updates and then restart your computer.
   []Reactivate Windows:
   • After the reboot, navigate to the system settings.
   • Check if your system registration numbers are back.
   • You should now be able to re-activate your Windows license. Follow the on-screen instructions to do so.

By following these steps, your Windows 7 should return to its original state as a registered copy. This process may disrupt pirate copies but could potentially cause issues for legitimate users as well. Your trial and error method has provided a workaround for this issue. Hopefully, this guide can help others facing a similar problem with Windows 7.
