HelloMy computer keeps changing my time zone to an incorrect one - aways the same one. I have turned off setting my time zone automatically and this enables me to have the correct time but as soon as I turn it on again it reverts to the wrong zone.

Hi,I have a problem that after an update, Windows ask me for activation. But even if I enter the key there, I only get the message that the key is not correct, but I checked it for typos.
