Windows 10 Activation Servers - Problem

I'd much rather operate my 6400 than be an IT guy, but......

W10 Pro - 1803 deactivated this morning.  As I fired up the 6400 to make a few contacts I saw the MS warning in the lower RH corner of the desktop.  Just before doing a reinstall I saw today's report that MS acknowledges that their servers inadvertently deactivated W10 products that were installed via the free upgrade path from W8.  My W10 is authentic and was still deactivated. 

Just a heads before you waste time trying to sort out why your legal version of W10 seems to now be fake.  Just go make some contacts and ignore MS for a few days, W10 will still work okay. They say they'll fix the problem.................

    You don't need to roll back, Microsoft's activation servers are now active again

    Microsoft has a procedure for getting the digital license for your Win10 Pro version. You will need to log into your Microsoft outlook account when you login to Windows, it might take several hours to a couple of days, but eventually your computer will be digitally licensed with MS, and your computer will show as activated in the Activation window under settings. This way you will be able to get future updates from MS . There is a detail description in the Microsoft Windows Support . Days of the license key string replaced with digital license. Good luck. 73 Dudley WA5QPZ

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
