How To Fix Error 0x8007232B When Activating Windows 10?

Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, I installed Windows 10 without any problems. But then, I ran into a weird problem. Its showing me this error 0x8007232B, and telling me to activate Windows. I’m using Windows 10 Professional and its otherwise working fine. It should already have been activated by now. How do I get rid of this error?“ - April M., USA

Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:

Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.

Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.

Wally’s Answer: Many people have taken the plunge and upgraded their version of Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10. According to Microsoft’s own statistics, Windows 10 was activated 75 Million times after a month of its release.

Many people are using it without any issues, but there are times when things don’t work out as planned. Here we will look at one such problem.

Is Your PC Healthy?

I always recommend to my readers to regularly use a trusted registry cleaner and optimizer such as WinThruster or CCleaner. Many problems that you encounter can be attributed to a corrupt and bloated registry.
