    Try uninstalling the update and doing it again - make sure to hide the update too so it doesnt install again

    The update updated twinui.dll, so that file needs to be re-patched.

    Whenever I reboot, I just use process hacker to kill the twinui.dll!DllGetActivationFactory, then everything will be fine, no need to patch anything. Since I only reboot once per week on average, this is still very trivial.

    Better use an GVLK Key and use KMS Server for to real activation either as Enterprise or as Pro! Soon after the real activation is done all annoying messages will disappears.

    What ace2 is proposing is nothing else than an hacktivation! That will also never enable ALL features of Windows 8 which will be done by real activation only.

    Then "downgrade" to pro and keep WMC, then theres only the software policy check
    that prevents it from working.

    Err, I need media center working.

    Anyone know how to get rid of the damn activation thing taking over the screen? I don't know why it has this extra level of annoyance with media center edition. The hacktivation method above doesn't work.
