    That's fairly minor, but may be in indicator of other problems.

    Please download and install Malwarebytes Anti-malware (free version) www.malwarebytes.org and update it, and run a full scan (DO NOT enable the Real-Time protection option!) in your main account, and Quick scans in any other user accounts.
    Delete everything it finds

    the seond one will only work if you get the first one right :)

    Here's my set of instructions.

    Please first try recreating the Licensing Store.
    Recreate the Licensing Store
    1) Click Start button.
    2) Type: CMD.exe into the 'Search programs and files' field
    3) Right-Click on CMD.exe and select Run as Administrator
    4) Type: net stop sppsvc (It may ask you if you are sure, select yes)
    Note: the Software Protection service may not be running, this is ok.
    5) Type:
    Code:
     
    cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
    (note - that should all be on one line - it will wrap both here, and in the Command Prompt window)
    There is a space between cd and % - it's the ONLY space in the line.

    6) Type: rename tokens.dat tokens.bar
    7) Type: cd %windir%\system32
    8) Type: net start sppsvc
    9) Type: slui.exe
    10) After a couple of seconds Windows Activation dialog will appear. You may be asked to re-activate and/or re-enter your product key or Activation may occur automatically.
    If you are asked for your Key, use the one on the COA sticker on the machine's case
    Reboot and Post back with a new MGADiag report


    [edit] - I've put the affected line in a code block for clarity [/edit]
