Hi, so i have been getting this message for over a week now saying that my windows license will expire soon, although i have windows license activated on my pc properties, is there any way i can AT LEAST stop it from appearing? when im playing games it randomly pops up and i gotta tab out to close it.
 
Solution
Assuming the license is legit it sounds like your system has picked up a minor infection.
Try running Ccleaner to clear out the various .Temp files and folders that are scattered throughout Windows and run a full virus scan with either Windows Defender or AV software of your choice, and a malware sweep won't hurt either.


Where did you get your Windows license from?
Which specific OS is this?

Not necessarily.
An Insider install will expire.
A corporate license may be expecting to talk to their license server on a regular basis.

Hence the question...."Where did this license come from?"
