Showbox Not Working? It is one of the most popular apps when it comes to video streaming applications. It is hugely popular among the youth as it is cost-free and you do not have to register your account for watching videos or movies.
You should give that a try. Only two steps are required:1) Plug your headphone in the computer.2) Restart your computer and check to see if your headphone works.
Solution 2: Set Headphone as default deviceWhen you plugged the headphones into your computer, the computer may not have automatically set them as the default device.

If that’s the case, select Speakers/Headphones and click Set Default.5) Click the OK button.Are your headphones working now? If so, great. If not, let’s look at another solution Solution 3: Update your audio driverYour headphones may also stop working if there’s a problem with your audio driver.

Did you install, choose NOT to enter the product key, then after the install was done, try to enter and activate the key? If so, that does not appear to work. I ran into the same issue on 2 of my 2019 servers. I wiped them out and this time entered the key during install, and it successfully activated. If I were to guess, they made something in the install to take into account these testing keys, but the Activation function within Settings, has not been updated to reflect that, so it thinks you are activating a live version of Windows, and that is not a valid key there. That is entirely a guess on my part. I didn't bother running a wireshark or anything to see what kind of response I was getting when trying to activate from Settings.Just as an FYI, based on the earlier response, the 2 machines I was seeing this issue on, were not upgrades, they were brand new installs on a blank hard drive.
I have not gotten around to trying the in-place upgrade yet. I don't know if this will help your situation, but I can say that I saw exactly what you were describing, and if you enter the key during the actual install, it appears to work. I have not looked into the release notes to see if there is something that says Activation from Settings is not set up to work yet. I have the same exact issue, but I have already installed twice now and not so thrilled that I may need to do it a 3rd time. I have ALWAYS installed windows by passing the key during install and just using my 10 Pro key from within settings.
THAT has always worked for me on Windows 10 Pro.So why that same exact thing doesnt work here is just crazy. It does however recognize that it is a Insider Build 17713 and it seems to run great. I just wish it would let me sign into my Microsoft account somewhere or at least let me Activate it using the Standard key that was given to everyone. I can't even find a Feedback Hub to give feedback as it tells me I need to install it. I should have just dumped Server and used Ubuntu Server, that is soooooooo much easier.Rod. Hi Folks,We apologize for the frustration this has been causing.
We have several bugs opened and are working through these. Here is a possible solution in the meantime. Since it is difficult to tell exact steps from this thread, here is our repro and workaround. Step #6 is the workaround. Hope this helps. Install RSPRERELEASE 17692 (Standard Full).
Mount RS5RELEASE 17713 ISO. Upgrade 17692 to 17713 (Standard Full). After upgrade check two issues that should repro.
On the desktop there is no watermark for OS is not licensed. When running from a command prompt, cscript c:windowssystem32slmgr.vbs /dlv – OS shows as not licensed. Try to activate from UI: Settings - Update & Security - Activation - Activate. This will error saying product key is not valid.
From a command prompt use cscript c:windowssystem32slmgr.vbs /ipk. OS should activate. So far this is the best information I've found on this specific issue. So I wanted to post my update here.I was able to follow step 6 and use slmgr to activate Windows as of 2-5-19. However, today I am getting a new error from that command line step that is preventing activation.Error: 0xC004F069 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004F4069' to display the errorslui output: Code:0xC004F069 Description: The Software Licensing Service reported that the product SKU is not found.I've tried using all of our MAK keys, including the new one that was purchased last week. Thanks, this worked for me as well.What did not work is entering the key during install (boot from ISO) nor the new 'Settings' application.
I was using a key and ISO media directly from the Partner Benefits download site. I have also had Windows 10 LTSB 2018 keys fail. I called MS and they first told me the key wasn't valid, then it was valid after they did some 'digging' on their end.
The key never worked again though and I got tired of repeated calls to partner support and used the LTSC 2019 keys/ISO instead. Wrote:Hi Folks,We apologize for the frustration this has been causing.
