    Hmm, it's ProWMC, so in case AutoKMS is failing it will go to Notification after 45 days :cool2:.

    Does manually starting C:\Windows\AutoKMS\AutoKMS.exe work? In that folder should be a log file you can check :g:.

    Mostly it's the AV preventing the run, is the task still in Task Scheduler library? Did you start it? With what result?

    I am not seeing it anywhere in the task schedule, is it hidden in a sub folder? Where do I start it from? I wonder if the wife saw something pop up at one point and had anti virus delete or quarantee it.

    EDIT: Check Quarantine first and restore if possible :cool2:.


    Didn't read properly, as you already said there is no AutoKMS.exe, so yes, it was arrested 45 days ago. Create an exclusion for C:\Windows\AutoKMS folder and try to reinstall.

    You're welcome as always :D. Good to hear it works again. Unfortunately AV Vendors and MS cooperate against tools like MTK, Daz' Loader and several more, they will always be flagged at a certain point. For a lot of users that scare tactics works :cool2:.
