Windows Activation alert "not running genuine Windows" (0x8004fe21)
First off, thanks for reading my post.
Second, apologies if the answer already exists on the forum. I've searched the forum for related posts for this issue & code, I got about 400 hits. I went through about a dozen with no luck (plus other non-sevenforums Google searches), so I'm posting.
My computer description is in my profile: self-built in 2011, running Win7 Pro 64 (OEM, purchased on Newegg, quite confident it is legit). Until a few days ago, I had no issues with Windows Activation. I believe it was on Dec 10 that Windows Update picked up several updates, apparently for Office 2007. After that update, I began receiving the alert that my computer was not running genuine Windows with the error code 0x8004fe21. See attached screenshot. Yet under the System panel, it shows as activated.
I have tried several fixes so far, none have been successful in resolving the issue:
Below is the MGADiag output. I appreciate any help/suggestions on how to fix this alert.

Yet under the System panel, it shows as activated.
I have tried several fixes so far, none have been successful in resolving the issue:
- I uninstalled the Windows updates I received around Dec 10.
- I uninstalled an old copy of Office (pre-2007). I use LibreOffice.
- Based on several recommendations on this site & others, I updated the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver to the most recent posted on the Asus site for my mobo (V10.5.0.1026).
- I've repeatedly tried the "Resolve online now" link to the /genuine/validate site on microsoft.com. On IE11, it tells me the browser isn't configured to run the required script and asks me to download legitcheck.hta. I never use IE, so I went to my default Firefox where the page validates interminably--I've let it run for several hours with no progress.
Below is the MGADiag output. I appreciate any help/suggestions on how to fix this alert.
