Windows 10 Licenses being deactivated/downgraded

[Taffycat]

A heads-up for those who might not have heard.

It would seem that some Windows 10 Pro users are waking to find that their licenses are being deactivated and down-graded to Windows Home. Microsoft is said to be aware of the error and they are working on the problem.

You can check out the issue here: Bleeping Computer

I read about this on Reddit, they say its an issue with the activation server.

Not doing very well lately are they?

One must of course wonder whether these inconveniences to the average Windows user are deliberate and MS have some hidden agenda

And no, I don't believe vapour trails are harmful or that fluoride in tap water is deliberate euthanasia

MS have some hidden agenda

I don't think so. It's more likely due to an honest mistake or incompetence. You can choose which one.

Ok, given the choice I'd opt for hidden agenda...
