Nicky, if everyone made a post when their computer carried out a normal function the entire forum would be spammed with posts.

Sounds like you've been hacked.

Windows verification is done via Microsoft account these days (rather than the long 16 digit pin that used to come with the windows installation disk / on the back of a laptop) so basically it's telling you that it's having issues communicating with your account to ensure that your Windows license is genuine.

Go to the Start menu and type in "windows activation" and click on "See if windows is activated", you'll get a screen like this one below (from my PC )



If there's a problem, it should give you more details there.

You could try changing your password (at accounts.microsoft.com) and then using your new password the next time it asks... but also, it's not uncommon for it to ask repeatedly for a while with a new computer / fresh installation of Windows so it might stop. But yeah, see what it says on that screen.

Probably need this screen to help Nicky out
