I changed my system bios last night and now the message says Windows isn't activated. I used the key I bought when I built the PC, but it shows as invalid. I've updated the bios several times since February without any problems. Could there be another reason for this issue? The key I got from Whokeys has been working well until today.

there is an issue with the windows activation servers, so it's likely your issue will resolve itself in the coming weeks.

Usually refreshing bios doesn't influence activation. It looks like even minor adjustments are triggering them now.
