Funny you should mention that. Today I was the lucky recipient of a scam phone call. The robo voice informed me that it was Microsoft, calling me to inform me that my Windows program would be shutting down because my product key was expired.

I don't recall if this has been covered already or not so here is my input for what it is worth.

Once windows 10 is installed on a system you really don't need to worry about getting the product key or not. I have a couple of programs on the server that will extract it but only if the system boots unfortunately.

The fact is I just did a system reload of windows 10 this past Sunday an although I had the product key documented it didn't ask for it at all. In fact this Is the fifth reload of windows 10 and the results have been the same each time.

Dave, Thanks although that the command did launch system restore her
computer is out of service. There were only 2 restore points and neither
corrected the problem. Running the 2nd time she got the message that system files are corrupted and there is a disk problem. I had her run disk checker it stated that it fixed several problems. The computer still would not come
up without errors and system restore launched another disk check before
attempting to restore. again it will not come up clean. I do not know how to get the product key for windows off of that machine in it's current state. I
would consider replacing the hd drive but no O S.
I will tuck this run command away for future use. It is much quicker than
going through the control panel.

Lenny,

Any possibility that you can log in as a different user on the startup
window? That might give you the necessary administrator privileges to do a
system restore.

Also if you can do a Windows+R for the run dialog, try "rstrui" without the
quotes. That should launch the system restore application.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] start menu not working


My grandson’s girlfriend is having major computer problems. She is running win 10 with windows defender. I.E. no longer is on her desktop and she can
not use the start menu. It states that the problem will try to be correct
the next time that she logs in. She tried this several times. I wanted to
use system restore and can not get to it. I can not find any way to get to the control panel. Trying to get to the place where you can type in you get the menu error. I tried several things with the run command with no success Is there another way to get to the system restore? She is using a smart tv with a hdmi cable for the monitor. I tried to get her into safe mode but the
tv does not show any display with that option.
