    Title, I deleted that Kms activator(might by accident, I installed kaspersky security cloud and it seems to wipe it, and forced to uninstall it as it disturb my mouse keyboard input). 150 days remaining when I check through slmgr.vbs/dli.

    What really happen if I let it expire? Shutdown after 2 hours? Or just it nagging me to activate? Will I keep receiving updates?

    Just re-activate it.

    And no, activation has no influence on the ability to update the OS.

    Use Digital License activation not KMS and you will be good.

    `activation`be damned..the fact is, that in 150 days windose will be completely obsolete..i suspect that m$ is really asking for that; you only need to look at their nagging of their own customers, i could start a list here of their repulsive behaviour as long as long as your arm, but it looks like you found that out for yourself already..it is no longer their core business,
    instead, they are looking to shady clouds, and their bingbling. it will soon go the way of their windose phones and their windose store, i guess....
