The Windows 7 operating system has a certain feature with which Microsoft is trying to combat the spread of unlicensed copies of the OS. This function called authentication, the authentication procedure involves matching the PC's hardware profile with the installed product key contained in the certificate of authenticity. In the event that Windows fails authentication, the system will continually display a reminder that this version Windows is not genuine. Such reminders will appear when you log in and on the desktop, in addition, the desktop background image will change to a black background every hour. You will also not be able to download or install any software on your computer. Windows updates, except for updates for the OS security system.
So what should you do if the following message begins to appear on your desktop: Yours copy of Windows is not genuine?
Many people try to solve this problem using third party programs, however, it will be much more convenient and safer to disable authentication Windows standard means operating system Windows 7. Below are instructions on how to do this.
Open Control Panel and select Administration.
In the window Administration find the item Local politics security.
In the next window, find the item and click on it right click mice. IN context menu you need to select an item Create a Software Restriction Policy.
After this, in the section Software Restriction Policies Two new sub-items should appear: Security levels And Additional rules . Open the item Additional rules, right-click on free space in the right side of the local security policy window and select the item from the context menu Create a hash rule.
Next, a window will open in which you need to click on the button Review and specify the path to the following file: C:\Windows\System32\Wat\WatAdminSvc.exe. In line Security level install Forbidden and press Apply.
Click the button Apply and make sure that the rules are created and are in the section Additional rules.
That's all, now all that remains is to restart the computer for the changes made to take effect. After a reboot, authentication will no longer occur, and problems caused by Windows digital certificate mismatch will also disappear. However, keep in mind that if authentication is disabled, the operating system will not be able to automatically download security updates. However, this is not so important, because almost all users have an antivirus program on their computer.
And one more important point. You may encounter that the WatUX.exe or WatAdminSvc.exe file is not found on your computer. As a rule, this happens due to activation of the operating system using activator programs. In this case, you will have to roll back the system to the earliest restore point in order to recover the deleted files.
Still have questions? - We will answer them for FREE
Hello friends. How to find out if Windows is licensed on your computer? The answer to this question is obvious to you if you bought a new PC, laptop or tablet with the Home edition activated at any reputable hardware store. Or if you purchased . But how can you check whether the license is real if it was purchased in an OEM, boxed version, or in the form of the same electronic key in some online store? Or if we purchased a computer device on the secondary market, and the buyer swore to us that he was selling it along with the most genuine Windows?Let's try to understand this issue and of course I will give you several examples from my practice when I was able to prove to my clients that the activated system installed on their computer was not licensed.
How to find out if Windows is licensed on your computer
Friends, I strongly recommend that you first read it. This is a complex and tortuous topic, Microsoft has created a lot of wilds in it, but we still tried to present it as simply and clearly as possible. Thus, deception may lie not only in the authenticity of the OS keys, but also in the type of licenses (in particular, free trial ones) to which these keys provide access. So it is necessary to have at least a basic understanding of the types of Windows licenses.
Non-activated, pirated and licensed Windows
OS from Microsoft in the context of its activation can be divided into three types:
- Not activated;
- Activated pirate;
- Activated license.
Unactivated Windows- This is an OS limited by certain capabilities. In Win7, this is a black desktop and notifications that weigh on the psyche that we have become a victim of counterfeit software. In Win8.1, this is the inability to choose a color for the start screen and the activation window that appears every 4 hours. In Win10, this is to block all personalization settings. A universal way for all versions to find out whether the system is activated or not is the control panel. Press Win+Pause on the keyboard and look at the “Windows Activation” column. If there is activation, we will see it.
If there is no activation, then this.
Or this, if Win7 is used within a monthly trial period.
An activated system will be listed as such regardless of the activation method - pirated or legal.
Activated pirated Windows externally and functionally no different from a legally activated system. Unless, of course, we are talking about a system installed from a clean distribution and a separate activation stage using, for example, a KMS activator.
If a third-party build of Windows is initially supplied activated, its functionality may be interfered with - something is cut out, something is disabled, something (including malicious) is additionally installed. About all the pros and cons pirated assemblies. Disadvantages of pirated activation:
It may fly off periodically;
Activator files and processes are blocked by antiviruses;
Its detection by the competent authorities will result in prosecution - civil, administrative or even criminal. As well as, we read the practice of courts on the website of judicial decisions of the Russian Federation. We go to the website http://judicial decisions.rf. And in the “Document text” field we enter a key query, for example, “Windows KMS”.
- Note: I especially recommend reading the judicial practice in cases of copyright infringement of developers in your spare time to all those “smart guys” who, in the comments of the site, insult those who have chosen the path of using paid licensed software.
Activated licensed Windows is a legitimate way to use it that will allow us to sleep peacefully at night. And not to be afraid of any inspections by the competent authorities if we use the system for our individual entrepreneurs or head any structural unit of the company.
So, genuine and pirated Windows are indistinguishable in appearance and functionality. How to understand which one we are dealing with?
Windows Authenticity Stickers
You can find out whether Windows is licensed or not by looking at the authenticity stickers on the computer device. What are these stickers? This:
Certificate of Authenticity (COA) - a sticker on the PC case, on the bottom of the laptop or inside its battery compartment, and also inside the latter on Surface tablets;
The GML sticker is a hologram sticker with changing colors depending on the viewing angle, introduced in September 2017, the sticking locations are the same as for COA.
If license key was purchased separately from the device, by purchasing a boxed version of Windows - an installation DVD or flash drive; authenticity stickers should be on their packaging, respectively. For boxed versions, the same types of stickers are used,
as for device cases - certificate of authenticity (COA) and holograms.
How to find out if Windows is licensed using the command line
If a seller of a used computer swears that he is selling it with licensed Windows, if a new device is purchased from a store with a reputation hitherto unknown to us, the authenticity of the OS can be verified by asking you to enter something into the command line. We run it as administrator. And enter:
slmgr –ato
If the activation is pirated, we will see something like this message in the script window that appears.
Or something like this message.
But if the system is genuine, we will see in the script the inscription “Activation completed successfully.”
In addition to the direct activation message in the script window, it is also important to pay attention to Windows edition. If the title of the edition contains the addition “Eval”, for example, “EnterpriseSEval”, alas, such authenticity of activation is of little use.
How to find out if Windows is licensed using the task scheduler or how pirated activators work
It should be noted that the latest operating systems from Microsoft (Windows 8.1, 10) have a fairly strong mechanism for protecting against activation by pirated means and on at the moment There are only a few activators capable of activating the above-mentioned OS, the most famous is KMSAuto Net. But it works very simply and can be easily detected in the system. KMSAuto Net creates a folder at the address: C:\ProgramData\KMSAutoS and places its files in it.
To constantly reactivate the OS, he is also forced to create his own task in the scheduler.
One time, a friend brought me a laptop with installed and activated Windows 10
and asked if the system was licensed. I stupidly opened the command line and entered the command already familiar to you: slmgr –ato, the result was very eloquent.
Then I opened the planner and showed my friend the task I had createdKMSAuto Net. The questions disappeared by themselves.
How to check Windows 7 for authenticity
If you are faced with the task of determining the authenticity of Windows 7, then first of all look at the sticker with the license key on the PC case or on the bottom of the laptop; if there is none, then the task becomes many times more complicated, since this OS has a weak protection mechanism against activation by pirated tools . If you ask this question on the official Microsoft website, you will be advised to install update KB971033, created specifically for OS authentication, but for example, this update is installed on this PC,
and the system was activated by a pirate activator and I will prove this to you a little later.
You may also be advised to enter on the command line: slmgr.vbs /dli, but the message “License status: has a license” does not prove anything.
Also at the office. The Microsoft website will advise you to download the tool MGADiag.exe
In the "Licensing" window you can see the partial product key - 7TP9F and "License Status: Licensed".
But the key YKHFT-KW986-GK4PY-FDWYH-7TP9F can be on Win 7 installed on Acer laptops, But not on Win 7 installed on a regular desktop computer,
I always come across him on pirate sevens. This key installs a pirated program Windows activation 7 Loader by DaZ Activator or Windows7 ULoader 8.0.0.0.
A real license key will not be “Googled” at all, since information about it should not be on the Internet.
Trial Windows
Trial Windows - editions of Win10 Enterprise and offered on the Microsoft Evaluation Center website, which can be tested for free for 90 days - are completely legal systems. You can also add trial Win8.1 Enterprise to them; it is no longer available for download on the Evaluation Center website, but it can be found on the network, in particular. And, of course, the activation verification team will show that everything is fine with them. But this order will be temporary.
Evaluation builds are activated for 90 days with a temporary Evalution license activation key. If such an assembly will be installed on computers system administrators companies, you don’t have to be afraid of any inspections by the competent authorities. Everything is legal here. It is also completely legal, because there is no direct prohibition, after 90 days you can cancel the Evalution license and use the system for another 90 days. And then another 90 days (activation is reset only three times). Well, then you can reinstall the system. Trial Evalution editions are optimal solution for those who still reinstall the OS at least once a year. It is illegal if we are not an IT employee of the company and will use such an Evaluation assembly for commerce or for leisure activities. But this solution is definitely better than pirated activation – both in terms of technical aspects and in terms of legal liability.
So, there is nothing wrong with trial Evalution editions, if they are not trying to sell them to us as a full-fledged system with perpetual license. In addition to the method shown in the previous paragraph of the article, you can also identify the Evalution edition by the watermark in the lower right corner of the screen with an inscription in the form of a countdown to the end of the 90-day period. But such inscriptions are very easily removed by software like . We can make sure that we are dealing with an Evalution license and see the number of days remaining until the end of the 90-day period using the same command line. We run it as administrator. Enter:
slmgr.vbs/dli
And look at the information.
Documents on Windows
What documents confirm the authenticity of a Windows product key? Evidence of legal use of the OS is:
An email from the seller of the electronic key - Microsoft itself or an online store. This letter specifically states the key. The system should be activated by him;
Sales receipts, invoices, acceptance certificates and similar documents from OEM suppliers for OEM devices. Without these documents, there will be a violation of the Microsoft licensing procedure in terms of failure to comply with the terms of use of the OEM license.
So, friends, buying OEM computers written off and stolen by company employees, as well as purchasing cheap OEM keys on eBay, is not best solution. It is undoubtedly better than KMS activators and Evalution builds of Windows, but it is not a panacea for problems with inspection bodies.

Many users are interested in how to check Windows license 7. This question is of interest to everyone, because it’s always good to understand own computer. And if you consider that now licensing and piracy are two huge competitors (with their own advantages and disadvantages, of course), then you wouldn’t really want to be deceived. Sometimes even branded stores sell fake software. And for this reason, it is important to know how to check the Windows 7 license. There are several methods that will definitely help you.
Stickers
The first scenario is to carefully look at the computer you are purchasing. In truth, you will have to muster some courage, because buyers are usually embarrassed to examine the product from all sides. However, if you want to understand how to check a Windows 7 license, then this action is simply necessary.
The thing is that every laptop and computer (system unit) has a special sticker. Its presence indicates that the operating system installed is legal and not pirated. As a rule, they indicate the key and, of course, the version of the operating system, as well as its so-called build. That's it. Now you know how to check your Windows 7 license using the sticker. But there are other options for the development of events, and not everyone knows about them.
Purchase separately
What to do with the authenticity of the operating system if you decide to purchase it separately? There are no problems here at all, because you will have a special activation code printed on the box with the disc. It confirms that the system is licensed. Plus, the version and build will also be indicated there. Almost the same as in the case of a sticker on a computer.
How to check Windows 7 license by key? Just look at it and then check the combination in the properties of the My Computer service. Right-click on the shortcut and then select the desired item. In the window that opens, check the code on the box with the code under the “Activation” item. If they match, then everything is in perfect order- you really have a license installed. Otherwise, it will be written that activation failed, and you will see how much time is left until the end of the initial key. Usually 30 days are given for activation. After this, you will periodically receive a message stating that the license has not been activated, and many services and features will be disabled. But that's another story. Now you know how to check your Windows 7 license. However, there are other options for the development of events. Some of them are already familiar to many users.
Pirate version
No matter how it sounds, lately even pirated versions of operating systems need to be activated and at the same time confirm their authenticity. It used to be difficult to do this, but not now.
How to check Windows 7 for authenticity of the license if you have a pirated version of the system? Through the same “My Computer” and its properties. Sometimes you will have to activate using a key. But often nothing is written in the “Activation” item. This is one of the signs that you have a pirated version of the system, but it is vaguely considered licensed. In other words, you can easily and simply use all Windows functions without keys or activations.
Thus, do not be alarmed if there are no inscriptions in the “Activation” field. This is a normal sign, but only for pirated versions. If you purchased a license and then noticed this case, then you have been deceived. It’s difficult to call this a true test, but it’s a sign that all programs will see the system as licensed.
Updates
Well, if you firmly believe that you have licensed version"Windows", then we can suggest checking its authenticity several times in a non-standard way. To be honest, almost all users avoid it, because they will have to update the operating system.
How to check a Windows 7 license using this method? Open Update Center on your computer, and then activate it. Perform a full update. Then restart your computer. In fact, many will think that no verification will happen. But, as practice shows, if the license is confirmed, everything will be in perfect order with the system. Otherwise, failures and problems will begin. Sometimes a message even pops up stating that authentication failed. This is a cunning and slightly dangerous scenario.
It is no secret that a considerable part of users in our country work with a not very licensed Windows OS. This is due to many factors that we will not discuss in detail in this article. It's no surprise that Windows interferes with them - how can I disable this feature? Let's try to figure this out.
What is this anyway?
The main utility with which Microsoft finds out about unlicensed copies of Windows is the WGA program, which is installed when you first start the service. Windows Update. In principle, in older versions of Windows, its only purpose was to block the update channel.
In Window Vista, its purpose was much more severe: the functionality of the unlicensed system was sharply curtailed, which pushed PC owners to purchase a legal copy of the system. But our users were not at all confused by the authentication. "Windows Authenticity - How to disable it?" - they asked on the forums.
Of course, the collective wisdom eventually found such a method. You can use all the methods described below only at your own peril and risk, since in some cases their use can lead to very adverse consequences for the entire system as a whole. But know that we do not advocate disabling authentication, since it is best to still buy a legal copy.
Windows XP
First, let's figure out how to disable Windows XP authentication. If you have the Windows Update service enabled, then the KB905474 update was installed on your system, which is causing numerous problems. Let’s immediately make a reservation that, in general, the update service is extremely important, as it allows you to close the gaps found in security systems, which prevents virus attacks.
By the way, what prevents you from prohibiting the installation of KB905474 in advance? Of course, this is entirely possible. But you will soon get tired of constantly being distracted from work by prohibiting the download of this patch. Therefore, sooner or later it will be installed anyway.
What happens after installing WGA?
By the way, how do you know that your system contains this update? Alas, it’s not difficult to guess: immediately after a failed authentication, you will see a notification “Unfortunately, your copy of Windows is not licensed.”
If you click the Cancel button or simply close the warning dialog, it will disappear. But it will appear the next time the system boots. If you click on the “Next” button, the system will offer you to buy a licensed version, simultaneously listing all the dangers that users of pirated copies of Windows are exposed to. If you are impressed, you can follow the advice.
If not, then you will purchase a small banner that will settle in the lower right corner of your desktop and will constantly remind you of your lack of consciousness. Important! Before you disable Windows XP authentication, be sure to not disable Windows service Update, since some of the methods proposed below will certainly not work in this case.
Let's start solving the problem
To do this, you will have to follow one of the tips below. Important! Not all of them can help in all cases, so you will have to go through them in order to find a really working method. So how do you disable Windows Authentication?
Deleting the KB905474 folder
When the system prompts you to install the “Notification Tool...”, you must click on the “Cancel” button, and then find the KB905474 folder. There are the following files: wganotifypackageinner.exe, wgasetup.exe, and wga_eula.txt. Once you find them, delete the entire directory.
Because we're talking about about Windows XP, you won’t need any administrative privileges, and you won’t even have to log in. Next you will have to go to the “Scheduler” and delete the “WGASetup” task available there. Then we look for the WGASetup.job file and delete it.
Working with the registry
We offer this option for those who missed the installation of the ill-fated update, after which a malicious banner appeared on the desktop. Click on the “Start” button, look for the “Run” field there, and then enter the regedit command there. The registry editor will appear, with which we will work.
Before you disable Windows XP SP3 authentication, you will need to completely remove the Notify section. To do this, select it with the left mouse button, and then click on the Delete button.
All! As you can see, this method is not particularly difficult to implement! To check if it worked successfully, restart Windows. If everything is in order, you will no longer see messages about the illegal origin of your copy of the operating system.
Blocking a site with updates
Finding Opening last file in a regular Notepad, then add the line at the end of it: “127.0.0.1 mpa.one.microsoft.com”. To do this, right-click on it and select "Open with".
Important! We do not recommend doing this, since this method is equivalent to complete shutdown update services. This means that you will not receive any patches, and your system will be vulnerable to viruses and other malware.
WGA 1.9.9.1 Crack
From this point on, our narrative finally moves into the theory section. We do not in any way suggest that you use this method, but describe it for informational purposes only. Even if you decide to take it into service, you will have to do so entirely at your own peril and risk.
So, you will have to find the “WGA Validation 1.9.9.1 Crack” program on the vast expanses of the Internet, which is designed specifically to bypass the system authentication system. Its value is that after installation this application You can use the Windows Update system without interference by installing all the updates available on the Microsoft website.
Installing the program
It's incredibly simple. All you need to do is unpack it and then run it with administrator rights. To do this, you need to right-click on it, and then select “Run as administrator” from the context menu that appears. Further all operations will be performed automatically.
If Windows XP still requires activation
If all the methods described above do not produce results, we suggest you use the WPA-Kill module, which you will also have to search on the Internet yourself. Place it on a flash drive, having first disconnected it antivirus program.
First you need to boot the system into safe mode. To do this, press the F8 key immediately after the BIOS logo appears on the computer display. A list of all will appear possible options downloads, from which you need to select the method you require. Wait for the system to boot.
Connect the flash drive on which WPA-Kill is recorded to your computer, after disabling your antivirus program again. Go to the folder with the program, find the file antiwpa-2.0-winxp-2k3. Run it as an administrator by right-clicking on the file and selecting the appropriate item in the context menu.
If the system displays a failure message, try erasing the data.dat file. Run the program again and follow its prompts as you work.
But how to disable authentication in Windows 7 (build 7600)? Fortunately, this is quite easy to do.
How to bypass Windows 7 authentication?
Everything would be fine, but not so long ago it was officially discontinued. Therefore, it does not have special meaning and authentication. It makes sense to deactivate Windows authenticity (how to disable it so far) only in Windows case 7. If for some reason you are still Windows user Vista, then the method below will also help you.
This is another utility, the operating principle of which is somewhat different from the one described above. It allows you to easily download and install updates, even if you don't have a key on your system at all. In addition, at the moment it is not detected by the system itself, but antiviruses consider it dangerous.
So before you disable Windows 7 authentication, you will have to deactivate your antivirus protection(if there is one). After that you can continue. Installing the program is extremely simple and is no different in this regard from the application described above. After installation, it will reboot the system itself.
There is also a simpler option. Remember how we talked about deleting the update folder on Windows XP? Do you know how to disable authentication in Windows 7 (build 7601 and earlier) in approximately the same way? To do this, you need to follow all the same steps, but you should remove the KV971033 update. After this, you need to reboot the system.
Disable Windows 8 Authentication
The latest version of Microsoft's OS is a very tough nut to crack in terms of security. So how to disable Windows 8 authentication, how realistic is this? We regret to report that none of the above methods work for her.
In this operating system, authentication is closely tied to Internet services and account user, so modifying the registry or even system files won't give anything. You'll have to either buy a legal one Windows version, or search for a valid key on the Internet.
That's what authentication is for. The authenticity of Windows (which we already know how to disable) is very important to receive all the important add-ons and services from Microsoft in full. So we still recommend purchasing legal Windows. Moreover, at present, many users still prefer to update their computers by the time new version, and therefore, in any case, they receive a legal operating system along with the purchased equipment. In addition, this way you encourage the work of its developers.
Attention!
We remind you once again that you undertake all the above actions solely at your own peril and risk. In particular, we wrote about some utilities, after installation of which the system no longer checks its validity. It should be remembered that you have to look for them on very dubious sites where you can easily “pick up” a virus. So you need to be extremely careful and careful, otherwise, instead of a free system, you can lose all your data, and the system itself in addition.
Large corporations are fighting piracy every hour. And we are not talking about robbery on sea routes. Copyright infringement on the Internet remains a serious issue. Despite the fact that many users prefer licensed programs, some PCs still receive a notification that Windows 7 has not been authenticated.
Microsoft against piracy
The corporation has conducted research on this topic more than once and continues to fight the problem. In 2011, it was announced that piracy caused $63.4 billion in losses to the company. More than $3 billion did not reach the corporation due to Russian users who implemented the software bypassing the copyright holder.
Microsoft representatives are convinced that the law is not the main driver in the fight against copyright infringement. It is much more important to carry out educational activities, which is what the corporation is doing. Representatives of the company try to inform users of various types of technological, financial) when installing pirated software.
But the corporation cannot keep track of everyone. Therefore, it tries to run automatic check authenticity of a copy of Windows 7 to warn the user about the installed unlicensed version of the system.
operating system
Windows 7 is an operating system developed by Microsoft. It was first sold in 2009. Until 2017, this OS was the leader in the number of users. By the end of last year, the Seven's share was 26%. Now she ranks second after the “Ten”.
Examination
What happens when the system is authenticated? Windows 7 and any other version are paid operating systems. But many of us know where and how we can get free packs that can be easily installed on our PC ourselves. In this case, of course, the user is unlikely to check whether the version installed via Torrent from an unknown source is licensed.
But there are also cases when suddenly a notification appears that the copy of Windows 7 has not passed authentication, but the user is sure that he bought and installed a licensed version.
So, if you are not sure that your OS or software is from Microsoft are real, you can check this. The system independently searches and confirms the activation result. She also conducts special diagnostics, which can reveal whether a hack has been carried out or one of the components has been tampered with.
Process
How to authenticate Windows 7? For this there is special services, which can scan the system online. For example, Microsoft Genuine Advantage. You can also do this in other ways.
If you are just purchasing a computer, and the store convinces you that the package includes a licensed version of the OS, you should not blindly believe it. Take a closer look at system unit or laptop case. Since not all devices have an operating system installed right away, manufacturers try to highlight this point with a sticker as an advantage.
The sticker says which version is installed inside. It also shows the key and assembly. But what if you buy a device without an OS, but ask the store to install it? How does Windows 7 authenticate in this case?
Identification by key
After the store downloads the new OS for you, a key will appear in one of the system sections. To view it, you need to go to “My Computer”. Afterwards, you need to left-click on the free area and select “Properties”. A new dialog box will open containing all the information about the computer.
The system processor, video card, quantity are indicated here RAM etc. At the very bottom there is information about the OS. Most sellers, when installing an operating system on a PC, then hand over the key to the buyer. In case of any unforeseen circumstances or problems, the user will be able to restore Windows functionality.
The information in the dialog box will need to be checked against what they give you in the store. The keys must match sign to sign. It will immediately say that the system is activated.
Piracy in action
It so happened that during its existence, Windows 7 received huge amount copies that are considered illegal. They are still distributed on various sites. When the user finds a build that works for him, he creates bootable USB flash drive and can pass it on to his friends. All this, of course, is illegal, but can almost never be verified.
The so-called hackers have long learned to “break” the license and create their own versions, which are supplemented with advertising, affiliate programs, and sometimes viruses. And if the pack is really high quality, then so is it will be tested authenticity. In this case, you can still try to check Windows 7 for originality.
To do this, just go back to “My Computer” and click LMB, selecting “Properties” from the list. Very often in pirated versions you cannot find the “Activation” line. The key to the OS may not be indicated here, and in the corner it will be written that the version has not passed the test.
System update
Some users also believe that Windows 7 authentication can be achieved through a system update. It's not always effective way, but very often it points to pirated OS.
To update, you need to launch the Update Center and activate all the required processes. The system will begin downloading all the necessary upgrades, and then restart the computer. Along with this process, the computer also starts OS authentication. If a pirated version is installed on your PC, then you will receive a corresponding notification.
Disabling verification
Again, it is important to recall that the use of licensed software is not only a “plus to karma”, but also payment for the developers. In addition, copyright infringement is punishable by law. As mentioned above, piracy has legal, technological and financial aspects.
But if you have already decided to “sin” and installed a non-original product, then sooner or later you will be faced with the fact that notifications will interfere with your work. How to remove Windows 7 authentication to get rid of annoying messages, black screens and system crashes? There are several ways:
- Local security policy.
- Manual blocking.
- Activation.
Security Policy
To disable automatic OS authentication, you need to go to the Local Security Policy menu. To do this, go to “Control Panel” through “Start”. A list will open in which you need to find the “Security System” menu. In it we find “Administration” and the section we need.
Now you will need to specify the path to the system document: “C:\Windows\System32\Wat\WatAdminSvc.exe” (without quotes). Next you need to disable the security level and create another hash rule. For it you need to specify the path to another document: “C:\Windows\System32\Wat\WatUX.exe”. We disable the security level again and you can reboot the system.
Manual lock
To ensure that Windows 7 authentication no longer interferes with your work, you can manually block it. To do this, disable the antivirus program and the Firewall, and then you can begin the process itself.
Through “Start” go to “Control Panel”. In the list of sections we look for “Update Center”. There will be several options on the left. You need to select “View Log”. A long list will appear in which you need to find the update for Microsoft with the code KB971033. It needs to be removed.
Activation
If you installed the operating system from the Internet, then most likely the package contained a special software activator. If for some reason the so-called pirated “license” fails, you can run this utility and it will generate a key itself.
If there is no such program, you can install it. Among popular activators, users note Chew7 or Daz. These are custom programs that are named by the nicknames of their developers. To use them, you will still have to block authentication using one of the methods described above.
