If you got it, Microsoft says they're working on it.

Thanks, Jenny!

Interesting.

Thank heavens no... And I do have Pro.

Supposedly it's fixed now, and all you have to do is run the Activation Troubleshooter.
But anyone who tried to fix the problem on their own, without waiting for the Troubleshooter to start working correctly, may have problems.

It's a bigger problem for businesses, which depend on Windows Pro features for normal operations.

The bug "should" be fixed by now, but I doubt Microsoft will compensate any businesses that weren't able to operate without Pro features.

I read that the issue was on their activation server. Yeah, I doubt there will be any compensation for anyone who relies on their Windows 10 Pro.

Fortunately I was not affected... although being on vacation I did not turn on my computer for a few days.. :-)
