    So my brother had a windows message pop-up that says he needs to activate his windows 10 not that long ago even though it's only been about 3 months since he has this PC. No problem, I installed KMSPico again (don't know why it got uninstalled) and clicked activate.

    Today, he restarted his PC because it was running slowly when trying to watch a video he just rendered. Windows gave a pop-up that told him "his PC would reset the next time he restarted'', though I don't know how much of this is true because he said it went away pretty quickly. Also his background changed back to the stock windows background. And I know for a fact that that is a side effect of not activating your windows but windows says in the control panel it's activated. Do I need to change some setting in KMSPico or something for it to work properly? Did I use the wrong version of windows (not sure which one I used exactly)?

    Help is much appreciated!

    I did a tiny bit of research on that and found I could see if it is in the users folder and I did see the TEMP folder there. Why does windows 10 log into a temp user? Does it mean the user is corrupted or something?

    I think you've got a virus that wants to do bad things.
    ctrl-alt-del run task mgr and kill anything you don't recognize.
    then run malwarebytes anti malware to get rid of the bad stuff
    then run kmspico and see what it's doing.

    I downloaded KMSPico from MDL. The computer had a s**tton of virus at some point so we had to do a windows recovery, we did the reinstall windows but keep all files which also deletes all .exe files and since then I don't think my brother did anything that could have given him a virus. Is it possible for a virus to survive that windows "reinstall'?

    the only way to know 100% is to do a clean install and wipe everything out.
