Persistent "This Computer is not running Genuine Windows" popup
Hi, I've been trying to figure out why it is that I've been getting this popup here:
When I do in fact have a key entered and at a previous point in time Windows was registered as Genuine - and was fully functional. In fact, I still have the ability to change my wallpaper, and the watermark that would appear in the bottom right corner about Windows not being genuine has disappeared, but now this is happening. The above pictured popup will only appear when I try launching Microsoft/Windows related softwares, like Paint, or Windows Photo Viewer, etc.. so everytime I want to open a photo, this problem persists and is very annoying.
Out of sheer frustration and a bit of ignorance with what to do, I looked up and researched what practical and quick ways there are to rid myself of (at the time, the black wallpaper, watermark, AND popup I'm dealing with now)-- because I don't understand why, with a Windows Key, any of this should be happening at all. And so I'd performed a few tasks including what one tutorial showed, to use Command Prompt and use the command slmgr -rearm , and this actually cleared up these persistent watermarks and activation errors. A program named RemoveWAT also fixed some issues, and the problem was gone for awhile. Now I've run into what seems to be a unique issue. I'm getting the above pop up, but when I view the actual window's associated Application name and process, they aren't the same as what is shown in other people's screenshots on other forums--- for the same issue. This is what I'm shown:
This wasn't the case before. The "Application" name for the window/popup wasn't that. And neither was the process "dllhost". Either way though, I wish to find a way to stop this Window from popping up. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
