Start 10 Won't activate

from Stardock Forums

I have a new PC and when attempting to install Start 10 on Windows 10, I get a greyed out area and it will not activate. I deactivated the machine, tried again, nothing. I can move around in the window but it doesn't activate. Some parts of the window work under Windows 7 but it still doesn't activate. Never had this problem before. I have installed, deactivated machines, etc. re-installed, etc. I even bought the program again and it does the same. Should I shut down all virus programs, etc. and try. I guess I  could. Just getting tired of doing the same thing over and over.  Any experts?

Thanks,

Barn

It's working! I switched skins and all works well. So you and your colleague's tenacity paid off.  Can't thank you enough.

Thanks so much

Quoting drbarnum, reply 25

Question is what is going to happen if I make any changes or add a different skin, etc. Is it going back to the Windows 10 menu?

You should feel confident going forward that it will remain so if you don't change the way the Start10 menu is to show.
