Another 0x8004fe21 Genuine Activation problem

Hey everybody,
I've had this Alienware for a couple of years now, obviously with a genuine OEM version of Win 7 X64 installed on it but I suddenly started getting popups that my version wasn't genuine today after installing some updates....

I ofcourse tried to roll back with System restore first but that didn't help.

Afterwards I tried installing the little verify tool windows has online and that told me my version wasn't valid either so that was a bit awkward since they asked me to buy a new one.

If I check my system settings it still says it's genuine and I think I can even still download updates but I keep getting the popup in my face with a 0x8004fe21 error code in the corner.

So, I started googling a bit and the first thing I tried was the following:

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: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
6) Type: rename tokens.dat tokens.bar
7) Type: cd %windir%\system32
8) Type: net start sppsvc
9) Type: slui.exe

That seemed to work, I got a "Your version is activated!" menu after a few seconds so I figured it was all good but it obviously wasn't.
I tried that a couple of times and it keeps saying it's activated and it just shows my Windows version and my code with a "This is a legitimate windows" logo on my System screen *shrugs*.

Afterwards I tried running a

CHKDSK C: /R,
rebooted and waited for it to finish and then ran a

SFC /SCANNOW

Which told me I had some errors that couldn't be fixed. Which coughed up the following gibberish :P, this is the log (I rarred the file, password is Windows7 ):

I tried installing the latest Intel Rapid Storage Drivers since some people seem to fix this problem with that but that didn't help either.

I checked the following commands (complete with answers I got) in CMD:

I checked my regedit and the latter 2 are indeed not there. Afterwards I ran the Windows Genuine Diagnostics tool (I'm kind of working in reverse order of most people I think lol). Here is my Diagnostics Report:

According to malwarebytes and Comodo Internet Security I have no Malware or Virusses and I never had an issue like this in the past years.
I seriously hope someone can help, I really don't want to do the phone activation thing, hate that kind of stuff nor do I want to reinstall windows because I have loads of stuff I'd have to backup but currently no external disk to do so nor do I have the time... plus my version really is legit so *sigh*

I really really hope someone can help me out with this one....I'm fresh out of ideas. Thanks in advance!

See the notes in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3004394 - it is not advised to uninstall the update if already installed as it may cause other issues.
MS have since released a new patch designed to resolve the issues caused bythe failed patch..

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3024777

Sometimes MS surprise me with how inept they can be at QA. Something this major should have been caught in the initial beta testing for the update - which used to involve a number of external people (including some MVPs).
This is the second time this year that I've had to spend a couple of days firefighting an update

There's nothing showing in the report - it may just be a race condition caused by the Comodo problem.

reboot again and see if it recurs - run another MGADiag report while the notification is showing, if you can.

The notification is showing right now I kept that open to make sure it didn't change reg keys or whatever after closing it and creating an invalid report :).

I'll reboot real quick and let you know what happens, if nothing happens I'll post again in about uhmm 2 hours or so. That should seem like a time span in which the popup would have shown again.
If something does happen I'll obviously report sooner.

I could rerun the activation by renaming the tokens *shrugs* just throwing an idea into the group :P.

Just rebooted, and it looks like there might be a conflict with Comodo as well, I instantly get a diagnostic error from Comodo on boot so it mighttt have something to do with that. Or not at all lol, you never know with windows haha.

I'll see what happens within the next couple hours...
