    Hello,

    I went through this forum and found out that RemoveWAT isn't maintained anymore. I have Windows 7 and so far, I had used RemoveWAT but a Windows update wreaked havoc and now every now and then I have a "Not genuine" windows popping up. I uninstalled and reinstalled RemoveWAT, with no success. I still have the nag screen.
    I searched for registration solutions but I don't know which ones are still maintained/operational. Could you suggest me which one is best, please?
    Thank you very much,

    RemoveWAT is considered to be pure junk on this forum. It does not activate anything, it simply hacks / mangles system files to hide the fact it is not activated. Daz has written a utility to fix the damage caused by RemoveWAT.

    Once you have cleaned up your system try Windows Loader or one of the KMS tools for Pro or Enterprise.

    If You or somebody else have similar problems in the future, then look at first on the link. It appears because the links did not convect properly when replaced the forum software, they don't work now.
    Here is an old look
    Code:
    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/58464-Windows-Loader-Download
    and here is the new look
    Code:
    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-loader-download.58464
    here you can see that everything else is the same, only the location of the post number in the link has changed and is slightly different (there is point before the number) and if needed, replace upercase to lowercase.
    once again
    • old - 58464-Windows-Loader-Download
    • new - windows-loader-download.58464
    I hope this helps many users who meet with old links.

    Great. Now people looking for Windows Loader are expected to open this RemoveWAT thread(completely different piece of software), read a bunch until they reach your post, read your post, try to make sense of it(if they aren't that tech savvy) and then go copy-pasting and editing a link to get to the right place, when they could simply type "windows loader download" in the search bar and check "Search titles only" option.
