Windows 7 claims it's not genuine

Windows 7 claims it's not genuine

A few weeks later I am told that my copy is not genuine, at startup. What's weird is that I don't receive any such reports after I restart my computer. Obviously, my copy is genuine and this seems like a weird bug to me. Have you guys experienced anything like this before? This has happened to me before but I've taken a screenshot this time.

If not, there are a few ways to change your product key, and hopefully it will get that annoying message to go away. If not, just as others said, you can always reinstall.
