Is there any way to activate windows momentarily using regedit? Situation : Installed windows 10 pro from [windows upgrade esd to iso]. Used no product key during installation. Without license, it is effectively Windows 10 S + no personalization. It implies no non-UWP could be run except few(notepad, etc) which are of no use. Booting in safe mode enables to use cmd(hence regedit) but it works only for applications in system32 folder. From regedit I was able to access file explorer then you script which eventually not worked. So long story short, is there any way to remove the restriction on application for a moment, for using autokms.
Is not cloud or 10s exactly. I was installing using pro esd. It's like reduced functionality mode. Any way to activate externally like from other os? I've pro installed in other partition.
Even if you use NO KEY to install Pro or Enterprise or Home, autokms will work, just use it. (I use the USB to AutoKMS)
If it's Cloud aka S (as stated at the OP) no .cmd or exe will be able to be run. He either has to upgrade to pro, using the generic pro key (3v66t if it still works) and if it has finished upgrading to pro, he can use any KMS solution hosted on MDL to activate. Cloud is not advised to run on systems that didn't came with it pre-installed. The upgrade to pro will not unlock all blockages, in my experiences in vm and my test pc. ps, maybe the OP can post a usable screen of relevant info, the "about" tab from the settings for instance? Settings > System > About.
OP says Situation : Installed windows 10 pro from [windows upgrade esd to iso]. Used no product key during installation. -----
And followed by: The intention to install Pro failed and he ended up with Cloud, like when 16299.15 first was released and people used an old ESD>ISO tool, which ended up with installing Cloud instead of the desired SKU.
Once the Cloud edition (Windows 10 S) was installed, it's too late to remove the restriction. BTW, the Cloud has no GVLK (KMS) channel.
So the question reduces to: Can we install any non-UWP app in Windows S (hence KMS tool) somehow internally or externally?
Is Microsoft still giving free Pro version upgrade to cloud OS? I had read that somewhere. So just entering generic Pro key would work?
It will upgrade to pro, but doesn't activate if there is no previously established and confirmed HWID for Pro, and it won't unlock, read a few posts up.
EDIT: totally forgot there is no cmd or ps on cloud [/QUOTE] Today's date is 04/30/2020 and this is what I used to fix this issue.... Thanks I needed this
