    Hey, me again

    My win10 seems like to have traces of KmsAuto. Loc : C/ProgramData/KmsAutoS.
    Found that folder with bin and KmsAutoS. Am I good to delete it? If the risk is just inactivated windows Im fine with it.

    Also can you tell me what traces that night have been left? And how to track it? Hopefully it's not fatal.

    And the slmgr.vbs/dli says my activation is 128 day remaining so Im sure kms isn't autoRefresh

    KMS Auto is installed when you install it or when you have installed Windows with auto activation, taken somewhere on the net.
    Now you're afraid of this. You can install a fresh copy of Windows and do remember you can activate it easyly without any patch or crackz or something like that.
    Must be a way to uninstall KMS Auto, just look at the procedure delivered with the iso if you know where you collected this version. :)

    Ouch....can I know a way without reinstall? Also what about the folder?

    Also I'm sure the kmsAuto messed up because of the antivirus scan. So idk about control panel

    No, never. No need to.

    Got myself an ISO via UUP dump, fresh install Windows 10 <whatever version>, used KMS_VL_ALL to get activated.

    Done!
