WINDOWS 10 activation 0xc0020036 error

You have got 0xc0020036 activation error during the activation process? Below are the solutions to this issue.

CAUSE OF THE ERROR:

This error indicates that Microsoft Software Platform Protection Service is not started, or does not exist, usually happens after upgrades or updates.

SOLUTION:

1. 1. Go to the search bar at the bottom and type in “regedit”.

When Registry Editor opens go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services > sppsvc

In that folder near the bottom there is one called “Start” right click on that and click “modify” make sure it is in “Hexadecimal” and change the “value data:” to “2“

After you have changed that, restart your computer and go to your settings to re-type your product key and it should work.

If your Windows is still not activated and you have got another error message, please send us these two screenshots:

1. The screenshot of the error message you are getting (blue windows with error number):

2. The screenshot of your System page (Right-click on Windows flag, then click on system and take a screenshot of the “Windows specification” part” so we can see the version of your Windows).

Thank you!
