0x80072F8F-Activation error in Windows 10/8/7

0x80072F8F Troubleshooting:-

Basic troubleshooting start with the checking of system date and time. There could be network challenges due to Intermittent connectivity issues. If the time zone is set incorrectly, the system cannot be recognized by Microsoft servers. Make it your local time zone from where you are trying to activate Office or Windows. In other words, the activation keys are blocked, try to take the assistance of a technician here. So that we can track the product keys on Microsoft Product code activation pages to verify the validity.

Few troubleshooting steps suggest the following:

  1. Clean temporary files
  2. Clean booting of your computer
  3. Run a sfc scan
  4. Ping the network stats with the Microsoft Servers.
  5. Make sure no proxy behind your internet connection.
  6. Repair your program or Operating systems.

Clean temporary Files:

  • Open Run (windows key + R KEY)
  • Type in %temp% and press enter key
  • Select all (CTRL+A) and delete all files (SHIFT +DELETE )

Clean booting of your computer:

  • Open Run command window (windows key + R)
  • Type msconfig and press enter,
  • Goto General Tab and choose “selective startup ” from the options
  • Uncheck “load startup items“,
  • Then go to the “services “tab from the top menu selection,
  • Tick on Hidel all Microsoft Services and then click on Disable all tab

Click the Startup tab. Click on Open Task Manager.

  • Under the status bar, right-click each enabled startup item and select Disable and OK.
  • Now restart your computer,

After completing your troubleshooting, restore your system by doing exactly opposite to the above steps like Enabling all services in 5th step, and again in the 8th step enable all services that you want to start automatically (like onenote, skype, email etc ) when your computer starts. Run SFC scan:

  • Open cmd as administrator,
  • Type in sfc /scannow and press enter, then wait for its completion.
