Last Updated on Tuesday, 1 May 2012 11:23 Written by Naota Thursday, 25 February 2010 01:48
Wanna hear more about the Windows 7 KB971033 Update? Installed Windows 7 SP1 and need to activate? You have come to the right place! Scroll down below for additional information on how to update and reactivate. Read the Windows 8 Consumer Preview Review here! I have also written how to re-activate your Limewire Pro License Key if you lost it with the latest version here. *Updated 2/23/11* Windows 7 SP1 Has been released so we went ahead and updated the steps. For those of you who installed the Microsoft Windows 7 Activation Checker update (KB971033) you can still uninstall it. The reason that viewers such as you may want to uninstall it, is because of the surround rumors that this update creates a new process/service that will slow down your system and has been rumored to monitor the user. If you havent installed this, you can hide and prevent the Microsoft Windows Update Windows Activation Checker (KB971033) from installing by using the directions below.

Uninstall KB971033 Windows 7 Activation Checker
For those of you who HAVE installed it and want to uninstall it 1. Go to Windows Update 2. Hit Installed Updates (link at the bottom left corner). If that link isnt there, hit view update history and hit the installed updates link at the top. 3. Scroll down to the section titled Microsoft Windows and look for update KB971033. 4. Right click it and hit uninstall. Hit okay. 5. Reboot 6. Now check for updates again and follow the above method to hide it from installing ever again! Note: You can also do a system restore if you are worried. I have verified this method myself and did it before publishing this article. I personally do not want any extra processes running on my computer. =) Enjoy! If you are flagged as having an Un-Genuine copy of Windows 7: Steps that I recommend 1. Remove the patch using the steps below. 2. Follow the easy method below (Windows Loader 1.9.7) 3. After that, restart your computer 5. Click the activation prompt to follow the official steps to validate your windows 6. Click the option to download the Microsoft file to re-validate your windows 7. The activator will detect your Windows Loader 1.9.7 key and will act accordingly (this takes up to five minutes) 8. Reboot 9. Do a windows update check and hide that damn update! 10. Try rearming windows afterwards if that didnt work. ===== Rearm Windows: 1. Copy down these instructions into notepad and save it to your desktop. 2. Go to start -> hold shift and click run (If you do not see run, simply type run in the start menus search box and click it while holding shift) Note: Holding shift while clicking run opens up run in administrative mode, which is necessary for this process. 3. Type in command or cmd and press enter. 4. In the command prompt window type or right click -> paste:
Amazon Deals
slmgr.vbs -rearm
10. Reboot and your good to go~!
Reactivate Windows Easy Method (easiest and guaranteed working): If you need to re-activate your windows, it has been reported that Dazs activator works. You can easily find it on web pages. Just type Windows Loader 1.9.7 into Google. After that, restart your computer, then follow the official steps to validate your windows. Microsoft will prompt you to install a file which will then legitimize your windows with the new loader. We will NEVER post those files here and we do NOT support this. We highly encourage you to activate your windows through Microsoft by buying it. From here on you can even go legitimize yourself in the future at Microsofts website. It doesnt take long at all. You will already be legit though.

Vicky | Friday, 26 February 2010 at 9:33 AM RemoveWAT21 worked. check my blog post for download link.

you guys are retarded | Saturday, 27 February 2010 at 9:42 AM @everyone who says this doesnt work: You have to do this before they find out that your copy isnt genuine. If it already says that, then your screwed, and you HAVE to reinstall your operating system.

abecedarian | Sunday, 28 February 2010 at 3:21 PM After the update flagged mine, I used DAZ 1.7.7 to update the license, etc., then went to MS own site, the one you can click on to Get Legit when the warning pops up. I then ran their own activation repair tool and revalidated no more nags.
JSAS | Monday, 01 March 2010 at 8:42 AM Doing what abcedarian says worked for me
kp | Monday, 01 March 2010 at 11:09 AM hey guys.no need to worry.if at all ur windows gives u a trouble wid tht activation shit,then try dis (New_Windows_7_Activator_[2010]_[blaze69]) i am using this n its works great. *note* message edited by admin as we cannot directly link this. Thank you for your information. We have edited the page to reflect it.

is what abecedarian suggested we do a trap? is it a legit solution?
Rainz | Monday, 01 March 2010 at 3:36 PM no , i link it is, but Im wondering if its a trap if we actually click it and do it. no body wants the MS monster going after us
Rainz | Monday, 01 March 2010 at 4:44 PM Guys this article isnt working for me, I tried blazes activator and Daz. none of them are working. My windows still says its not genuine when I look at the status/system screen.
Rainz | Monday, 01 March 2010 at 4:54 PM I tried the Daz and the Blaze activator rebooted but when i goto my computer and properties it still says i need to activate? Is this normal? do i just run RemoveWAT? shouldnt it say its activated?
Rainz | Monday, 01 March 2010 at 5:03 PM HELP GUYS HELP PLZ im runing windows 7 build 7600. Someone help! plz plz plz.
Rainz | Monday, 01 March 2010 at 5:06 PM my system32 folder doesnt even have a WAT folder .
darklord | Monday, 01 March 2010 at 9:46 PM Hey this guide doesnt work! I tried both activators, No go!
Mr. E. | Monday, 01 March 2010 at 10:42 PM I am proud to say that the steps by abecedarian works! If u installed the update that flags ur copy of WIndows, install Dazs 1.7.7 loader, restart, the genuine warning would come back up, just go thru the steps to get genuine, it will take u to the validate webpage. Install the software, run it and click continue of the webpage below and u should see that u are genuine!
Mr 7 | Tuesday, 02 March 2010 at 3:38 AM abecedarians method works i ran wat2.1 then used dazs and go thru the steps to validate. voila. thanks alot. save me the hassle of reformatting
RVS | Tuesday, 02 March 2010 at 11:23 AM man thank u very much, its very impressive, solved my problem
SAM | Tuesday, 02 March 2010 at 12:44 PM abecedarians method works Great guys u all should follow this mathod. Ur copy will be activated. Guys do it 1st before MS people take action on this method. I dont think that there is trap. U may get some notice during this process but wait for minute or so and ur copy will be activated. Thanks buddy.!!!!!!
kid | Tuesday, 02 March 2010 at 4:08 PM my pc restarts every 2 hours, does this fix help this problem? thanks in advance!
Enki | Tuesday, 02 March 2010 at 5:19 PM Kid, that means you have the Windows 7 RC (Release Candidate) and the only solution for that is to obtain a full copy of Windows 7, unless there something out there to allow further usage of this early release version.

RatusNatus | Tuesday, 02 March 2010 at 8:14 PM I do have installed the BIE version integrated october. I have been flaged so i unninstaled the update k971033 and did use the removewat 2.2. Just booted and so far so good.
maam | Wednesday, 03 March 2010 at 1:27 PM i have the same problem as kid, re-boots every 2 hours. my version is 6.1.7600 Build 7600, so i dont think this is the RC version i installed it as the RTM 7600 version 64-bits. on my system status page it shows that windows is activated and i have the genuine microsoft logo but it still re-boots every 2 hours starting 1 March 2010. any ideas on what i might try to stop it from re-booting all the time?
Enki | Wednesday, 03 March 2010 at 4:31 PM maam, If you have subscribed to TechNet or MSDN, and activated your RTM version from there, it should not be giving you this problem unless it becomes unlicensed. If it was not through TechNet or MSDN, then know that Windows 7 RTM does not accept Windows 7 Beta product keys nor Windows 7 RC product keys.
Theodore | Thursday, 04 March 2010 at 3:55 AM Hi all I just got Windows Genuine problem after install KB971003. But now i already solved this problem. What ive done: 1. Uninstall KB971003 2. Install removeWAT V2.2 now i can use nice background again my question is: am i still need to install DAZ 1.7.7 (and validate it through MS website) if i already installed WAT V2.2? Is there any minus things if i just use removeWAT 2.2? Im sorry for my poor english I hope someone can answer my stupid question
sam | Thursday, 04 March 2010 at 10:51 AM hi Theodore, I did the same thing. But u can restore the WAT 2.2v and then do the things as mentioned previously.
redrim | Thursday, 04 March 2010 at 8:29 PM if i was flaged, And i just uninstall the that update and ran Wat 2.1 and rebooted, am i good to go with get system updates and stuff or is there anoher stuff i need to do?
redrum | Thursday, 04 March 2010 at 8:49 PM does windows stop getting updates if systems are found non genuine or flagged?
ham | Thursday, 04 March 2010 at 9:03 PM does windows keep getting system updates regardless of status?
Jacee | Friday, 05 March 2010 at 12:01 AM U guys r the BOMB, thanks Vicky RemoveWat from your blog did the trick, so far so good! YOU ALL ROCK BIG TIME! That thing was sooo annoying
Daedalus | Saturday, 06 March 2010 at 6:33 AM The commands to rearm Wimdows 7 as stated in the article didnt work for me. I used: slmgr.vbs -rearm In an cmd promt with Elevated rights.

Daedalus | Saturday, 06 March 2010 at 8:25 AM But that doesnt really does the trick Still getting BSODs with END_OF_NT_EVALUATION_PERIOD Anyone has an idea?
Cybear | Saturday, 06 March 2010 at 11:09 PM i couldnt seem to follow the rearming windows instructions above. do i really need to do that to start with? it says above that i need it in conjunction with the whole activation thing. i really think the flow of instructions above are frustratingly unclear and confusing. i couldnt know what flow to follow (the easy method, the underlined/bold /uppercased ones blah blah blah..) anyway ill try the instructions posted in the comments now.
Cybear | Saturday, 06 March 2010 at 11:34 PM @daedalus slmgr.vbs -rearm worked for me. thanks a bunch! okay so now what? so far the only instructions i followed and worked is the remove genuine notification. both the remove WatU scheduled key checker and delete WAT registries yield errors in the command prompt. i havent done anything in the activation part yet.
Cybear | Sunday, 07 March 2010 at 12:20 AM i got it working (i think..) all i did was remove/block the update, rearm windows (command given by Daedalus) and remove windows activation notification mode. i was about to try and download the removeWAT21 from Vickys blog until i checked my system status. weird enough its already reverted back to being Windows is Activated. so i guess im done(?) or do i still need to run removeWAT21 and do the official ms activation steps listed above?
irish | Sunday, 07 March 2010 at 2:25 AM thanks a lot, it really works
Daedalus | Sunday, 07 March 2010 at 5:43 AM In my system properties it says i have 30 days evaluation left, but sometimes i also get an pop-up saying i have 0 hours left. And about 30 min after that pop-up im getting the BSOD.If i just could get rid of the BSOD for about 30 days that would be very nice as im planning on buying Windows 7 Ultimate. So i think there are two timers running, one for system properties and one for that pop-up i get.
Arnold | Sunday, 07 March 2010 at 5:19 PM Hi all, i used WAT 2.2 and now i have no serial number at all. ( did i do it right ). The message has gone on the bottom right, but i dont know if its still activated or notIs there something i am missing? Thankyou in adavance
Arnold | Sunday, 07 March 2010 at 5:33 PM Where it says this microsoft product is activated is gone and i dont what to do next..please help
Asdaf | Sunday, 07 March 2010 at 7:45 PM You should be fine arnold.
Yur momma | Wednesday, 10 March 2010 at 1:25 AM For those that installed the WAT 2.2V what this does is that it only eliminates that message and lets u put a wallpaper, but your w7 will not remain genuine. this is what u do.

1. Restore ur system to a date before the KB971033 install. 2.Disconnect any internet connection u may have. yes, wireless and wired. 3.Re start your PC. 4. Uninstall any loader u may have used to activate ur copy of W7. 5.Clean registry (CCleaner or tuneup U.) 6. Search and download Windows 7 Loader V.1.7.7 by Daz. 7. Install loader. 8.OPTIONAL.

man | Thursday, 11 March 2010 at 8:22 PM It Worked Just Fine
Naota | Friday, 12 March 2010 at 2:49 PM Actually companies such as Engadget suggest that this update adds additional services that run in the background on your computer. Because of that, lots of people have uninstalled it just because they dont like the idea of additional processes, especially when these processes constantly connect to the Internet and update themselves. =)
Naota | Friday, 12 March 2010 at 9:54 PM Here is an article that states additional services may be added by installing the windows update: http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/windows-7-activation-technologies-update-coming-down-the-pike/
greylander | Thursday, 25 March 2010 at 8:05 PM Just a quick correction: KB971033 was listed under Important updates, not Optional maybe Microsoft has change it since these instructions were written.
Anonymous | Friday, 26 March 2010 at 7:42 PM does anyone know how to stop microsoft essentials telling me im not genuine, i guess i updated it and it tells me i have 30 days left for the security stuff. any help would be appreciated and if anyone is having the same problem. everything worked find after doing removeWAT 2.2, but i must have downloaded an update and now its back to telling me im not genuine. thanks for your help.
Jacee | Friday, 26 March 2010 at 8:09 PM Does anyone have the problem after doing removeWAT 2.2, working fine; after doing updates for microsoft essentials, the old NOT GENUINE is back and you have 30 days left for the security stuff (security patches, i think). You all are pros at this and i know someone has the answer. Thanks in advance!
Guy | Friday, 26 March 2010 at 10:00 PM Hey I used 7loader Release 5 to activate my Windows it came with a WAT 2.1 which I did after I Activated it like it said. I did however install the KB971033 now I am flagged as not genuine windows copy, If I system restore back to the time I installed the update my computer doesnt get the messege but if I restart it does HELP ME!

Touchdown! I fiddled with this for three days before I read this. Installed Win7 ultimate over Vista Home, updated to the deadly trojan KB1033. Uninstall trojan, ran Mr. Hazars removeWAT.2.2.5. Rebooted, and no more genuine messages. Thank you!
Jacee | Thursday, 01 April 2010 at 7:39 PM Does anyone know how to get rid of the Get Genuine in Microsoft Security Essentials? Its telling me I have a few days left because Windows 7 is not genuine. I dont have that nagging not genuine and changing desktop, as WAT2 took care of that, but the security features will stop working shortly. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Gui | Sunday, 04 April 2010 at 4:46 PM Hi I just installed WAT 2.25 and looks like my windows is activated again(even with the evil upadate installed) Is the others steps really necessary?

escuridad7 | Thursday, 15 April 2010 at 2:35 AM Me Im Using Windows 7 Loader 1.7.6 latest and the update (KB971033) It did not flag my system even if I have the real DVD of windows 7 premium. I remove the update just in case but I still will see if my computer do a weird behavior but I dont think for now. Im using Asus.
undagroundstudio | Sunday, 25 April 2010 at 12:57 PM Worked perfect for me, TY.
Loren Schnaidt | Thursday, 29 April 2010 at 5:15 PM This tutorial works great, no problems whatsoever. The key to this is to find and download RemoveWAT 2.2.5.2 by Hazar. This is found on the forums of My Digital Life. Thank you to the Author. -ls
jayson | Monday, 03 May 2010 at 6:32 PM worked perfect!
Camille | Tuesday, 04 May 2010 at 10:53 PM I have the same problem as Jacee. My Microsoft Security Essentials still says Get Genuine & when I clicked it, it said that it did not pass the genuine test. Is there a fix for this?

bob | Tuesday, 11 May 2010 at 11:23 PM Hey guys, if you are still having trouble search for Windows 7 Ultimate NOT GENUINE on you tube. You can get DL link for the Remove WAT 2.2.5 proggie. Didnt post the link to help with S.E. tracking it down, but hope this helps everyone out. Using remove wat, uninstalling the update and hiding worked like a charm for me.
Nick | Friday, 14 May 2010 at 4:42 AM Works beautifully! Many Thanks!
Metalsand | Friday, 14 May 2010 at 1:55 PM I only have a ~version~ of windows because the one I own is 64 bit but as we all know, there are 9999 bugs with 64 bit so I have a version for 32 bit, but damn windows reenabled updates. I never have them to automatically, and it keeps on changing it to automatically every month or so. I generally hate MS, because they think I will want to buy it if they take away all user control. If games were made for Linux, even though Ive never used Linux before, I would drop windows immediately. Its such a shit OS but all the good programs work for it. :S
Salas | Saturday, 15 May 2010 at 1:34 PM Remove WAT 2.2.5 solve the problem for me, no any problem.
Cata | Tuesday, 18 May 2010 at 10:17 AM Hazars fix worked fine for me. RemoveWAT solved my issue just perfectly. Thanks.

GJOZ | Wednesday, 19 May 2010 at 7:52 PM Daz 1.7.7 worked great for me. I ran in on my Windows 7 x64 and Windows x86 partitions with no problem. Just be sure to make your anti-virus real time checking inactive first. Windows malware removal tool found a virus in the windows 7 x32 version, but it removed it. I think this may have been a false positive, as my CA antivirus didnt find anything. Cheers!
JKLL | Thursday, 20 May 2010 at 3:36 PM Used blaze 69, worked for me perfectly. May the force be with you
JvdB | Friday, 21 May 2010 at 9:20 AM uninstalling worked for me. First the update wasnt there in the list of installed updates, so i installed the update a second time to get it in the list. It did appear this second time, I deleted it and everything was back to normal.
Tibet | Friday, 21 May 2010 at 8:28 PM Hi, I have one question. I had that update installed and the warning about my W7 not being genuine. Although such things Ive done what its said up there about both issues and I got to make it work again. My question is about the OEM legitness, which seems it doesnt appear but once I tried the to make an update, it DID work without any problem. Do I have to concern about that petite problem and install it all again or can I move on til something happens?
Eric | Monday, 24 May 2010 at 2:13 PM How do I know if it works?
Kratos | Wednesday, 26 May 2010 at 11:31 AM Successfully removed this crappy update! It really speed up my system I hate MS for these spying shit they try to install in OUR PC`s! Ive tried to find out all this time why the hell my pc is working slower then ever And all this headache was because of this small piece of crap
Theresa | Wednesday, 26 May 2010 at 2:32 PM I had to do the easy fix twice which worked for me. THANK YOU! Microsoft Security Essentials still detects a not genuine version. Any way to fix this?
Cedric | Wednesday, 26 May 2010 at 5:14 PM It worked great. I had a few problems and had to run some cracks twice but in the end, clear sky Even the genuine crap is gone Thank you so much!
kimpop | Thursday, 27 May 2010 at 5:47 AM Why is it that after i used a loader, it shows that windows is activated, and it shows the product-id. Thats good i know.. But.. Should i remove the WAT so the product-id etc. will disappear? And can i install (KB971033) after doing all this without problems.. Some says that once installed, it doesnt help to uninstall.
saili | Friday, 28 May 2010 at 3:04 AM i was flagged as having an Un-Genuine copy of Windows 7. nice. i made some things u recommend 1. i run WAT2.5.5 2. After that, i restart my computer 3. THERE WAS NOT activation prompt to follow the official steps to validate my windows 4. After that, there is no more black screen BUT.. IN CONTROL PANEL, the Properties in My Computer NOT LOADED!!!!! ONLY a white win, with the message page not loaded!!!!!!!!!! i guess, this is not normal!!!!!! so, whats next???????

damnit | Wednesday, 02 June 2010 at 6:37 AM hi there, all the solution here doesnt work anymore for me. I tried some crack like 7loader v.8 and the problems still there, no activation etc.. And the must best part of this shit, is that removewat v2.5.5 does not want to work ! I get some bullshit error like this: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Laccs au chemin daccs est refus. System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) System.IO.File.Move(String sourceFileName, String destFileName) Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FileSystem.RenameFile(String file, String newName) RemoveWAT.Form1.watermark() I notice that I got framework 3.5 resinstalled. If somebody got this issue ? thx
Jacee | Wednesday, 02 June 2010 at 3:42 PM So, did anyone come up with a fix for getting rid of the Not Genuine, in Microsoft Essentials? I still havent found a fix for it, so i just uninstalled it and now using Avast. I really liked MSE though. Any help if you can please.
Nick | Wednesday, 02 June 2010 at 9:11 PM Ok, I got mine to work using abecedarian method! (THANKS!!!), But my question is should I uninstall the KB971033 now or just leave it? Are there any pros or cons for leaving or removing? Ta
Nick | Thursday, 03 June 2010 at 3:56 AM Oh forgot to ask! Is it still advisable to run RemoveWAT2.2.5 after you have done everything abecedarian advised?
Johnny | Saturday, 05 June 2010 at 10:01 PM I tried the above on 2 computers and everything worked a breeze. In fact, did this back in February and have not looked back since! Important, follow the instructions CAREFULLY, omitting NOTHING. Now Ive bought a license after reviewing the operating system properly. Microsoft are stingey buggers, I nearly went over to Ubuntu. Every computer I bought had a genuine copy of Windows on it, but due to the way I need to use computers, the drives had to be reformatted. Once youve paid money and bought into the OS, youd think they provide maintenance, upgrades and improvements for free. They can make money on corporations and other software.

Miffed | Friday, 02 July 2010 at 3:11 AM I installed Win7, downloaded kb971033 ,right clicked it and hid it..after a week it said i had 24 days to activate (which was already supposed to have been done) so i got RemoveWat 2.2.5 and patched my pc..everything was ok for a few days (my update settings are download updates but i choose which to install) until i woke today with my pc running overnight and having used windows picture viewer and Wordpad with no problem..then suddenly i opened picture viewer this morning and got the Not a genuine copy notice..yet i had NOT installed any updates lately..hmmm (was it pushed through my Pc?)..anyway..i restored the wat and rebooted..found the installed kb971033,deleted it and patched removewat again..now i have my updates turned completely off and will leave it so for a week and see what happens.. QUESTIONhas Anyone else had this happen to them? is MS pushing it through by another route?

The activation windows from the properties is removed. How it will come showing the genuine sign of Microsoft pls anyone know kindly reply..
Baruch | Wednesday, 28 July 2010 at 11:46 AM My question is this. I was having numerous problems with this so I did a clean reinstall of windows. Note I formatted my windows partition but I have a second partition that I didnt format as well as an external drive that I didnt format. Anyways after the clean install I was about to go download the new updates except for kb971033 when i decided that it would be better if i first ran the 2 major bypasses blaze and removewat. Well when I finished those and rebooted I saw that 2 updates had actually been installed and one of them was kb971033 and the other was a windows defender update kb915597. Now I have not had any problem with the unauthorized windows messages like i had but that updat eis there. What should I do? Uninstall it? Maybe the cracks actually messed it up and installed it so that I could never

Very easy to find KB971033 on MS website will give you the download for the update. here is the tricky part. Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools\Local Security policy From there Software Restriction Policies- right click and create new Go to additional rules Create 2 hash Rules Or path rules I like hash only cause if the file move Still denied.

Katoetn | Friday, 06 August 2010 at 4:32 PM Its amazing! RemoveWAT by Hazar works! I have no windows activation/genuine messages anymore. The weird thing is that the loader used to activate windows (also by Hazar) cannot give any activations status Well who gives a shit, the irritating messages are gone. Btw, its not like you realy NEED the updates anywayYou can always do a fresh install and watch out for KB971033 next time
sam | Thursday, 12 August 2010 at 9:35 AM Download and run RemoveWAT it removes the activation

sensasiannn | Friday, 03 September 2010 at 11:09 AM if your windows have been flagged and dont want to use RemoveWAT, heres what you do: 1. Uninstall KB971033 and hide it from update. 2. Turn off Automatic update just case it might get reinstall again for any reason. 3. use the rearm windows method on here which is open up command or cmd as administrator. copy and paste this command: slmgr.vbs -rearm .then reboot. 4. reactivate windows by using hazar activator. 5. reboot and windows should now be activated. this method works for me, hope itll work for you too!

Iaht Eckab | Sunday, 19 September 2010 at 11:07 AM FYI System Restore doesnt work! I restored my computer to a point prior to updating KB971033, but I still get the ungenuine messages. KB971033 doesnt show up on Installed Updates, but I can still see it on Update History. It even shows up on the screen for Updates waiting to be installed. I have tried RemovedWat, which does get rid of the messages, but I wanted to run as little processes as possible so I tried System Restore. Doesnt work!
Me | Saturday, 25 September 2010 at 10:30 PM Iaht Eckab,Uninstall KB971033 and install and use Wat and then restart your pc then it should be removed.
Anodyne1 | Monday, 27 September 2010 at 5:50 AM I tried everything then found Remove Wat 2.2 and it works GREAT. I have a legit windows 7 copy but hate Microsoft and resent their intrusion.They should spend some time fixing the problems with Windows 7, as its got a lot of problems.

Tyler | Saturday, 06 November 2010 at 3:37 AM One suggestion might be upon using this method to download Ultimate Windows Tweaker. With this Windows 7 tool it is very important to select Disable Windows Update service under system performance to prevent windows from adding 50 new updates to your computer periodically. Also see the bottom of Security Tweaks.
mann | Sunday, 07 November 2010 at 8:34 AM Works! Thank you! 1. Delete the update 2. Hide him 3. Rearm it 3. Past the codes into RUN and cmd 4. Download the WAT and run it 5. Done!

ronald | Friday, 21 January 2011 at 1:15 PM Thanks a lot it works!
jason | Thursday, 27 January 2011 at 9:46 AM Works perfectly. Somehow I inadvertently installed this update. I ran a few of the above commands, got rid of the update that caused my copy to become invalid, rebooted and my copy of windows 7 is activated again, microsoft security tools now work again, after it initially say this version of windows is not activated. Pressed one of the buttons to recheck and it resolved everything, now my windows is re activated, can get updates again and windows is no longer reporting that is not activated and its not geninue. Did not need to apply any patch or anything! Just follow the instructions because they work like a charm! Remember to hide that pesky update, -> check for updates, right click relevant update and then choose to hide it, also make sure windows is not set to automatically download updates, always manually do it, so you know what shit your downloading so this doesnt happen again one happy camper herethanks for the info
Sree | Monday, 31 January 2011 at 1:34 PM Hi, It worked for me hmmm.. not completely though.. My windows is still in trial mode. Its showing: Remaining rearms 2 and remaining days 30. Is there anyway I can fix this? Or do i need to do repeat the processes?? But, still i have got 2 rearms.. So ??? Thanks in advance Sree

smeeeee | Tuesday, 08 February 2011 at 1:59 AM Worked for me! By abecedarian, February 28, 2010 @ 3:21 PM After the update flagged mine, I used DAZ 1.7.7 to update the license, etc., then went to MS own site, the one you can click on to Get Legit when the warning pops up. I then ran their own activation repair tool and revalidated no more nags.

HOWEVER, I get a Genuine message when the computer is been idling for a few hours. I tried going to the validate site, but it ALWAYS say its not genuine. I have even tried re-arming Windows 7. Anyone else have a suggestions besides RELOADING the entire OS again?

Matej | Tuesday, 01 March 2011 at 4:34 PM OMG, I tried it and it works, thanks! P.S. SP1 wont install. If you have anything that can help just write to me at matejkostovski@ymail.com!!!
jack | Sunday, 06 March 2011 at 9:12 AM Im still at a crossroads, here. I managed to avoid KB971033, and I have the SP1 update sitting in my list, but not yet installed. So far, running great. Im not sure what will happen if I install SP1. What do?
Ashok | Wednesday, 09 March 2011 at 2:20 PM Hi Jack.. dont install sp1 becos MS has tried everything in their armory to foil fake activation. My win 7 was working wel until I installed sp1 and my attempts to reactivate was in vain. Til now nothing can reactivate win 7 updated to sp1. So may be u would better let it rest in the list.
ak47 | Friday, 11 March 2011 at 4:25 AM I only need someone actually competent and knowledgeable enough to help me instead of everyone trying to shout the loudest and coming up with worthless suggestions. I just updated to SP1 yesterday. I had already KB971033 installed a long time ago and never had an problems. So, the problem began today as soon as I installed SP1 and restarted my PC. Is there a workaround, so that I dont need to uninstall SP1 and still wont get the copy not genuine message !?
Suporex | Friday, 25 March 2011 at 7:07 PM Dude thanks, I was getting ready to fresh install when I found this. I did remove that KB and after used loader 1.9.7 after which I run the windows checker and it showed as genuine big thanks for sharing
Suporex | Friday, 25 March 2011 at 7:18 PM to all that posted above me, I as well updated to SP1 with this KB971033, just by removing it and using loader 1.9.7 and doing online microsoft verification it was flaged as genuine and everything works good luck guys, just follow the steps.
bluah | Sunday, 27 March 2011 at 12:05 PM OK, so If you get flagged non-genuine (watermark on bottom right corner) removing the update KB971033 wont help with SP1 installed. Instead, do the following: 1. Download Windows Loader 1.9.7 2. Unrar and open loader.exe 3. Click uninstall and boot when prompted (If you have removewat installed, you cant click uninstall or install yet. Instead, open removewat.exe and click install WAT, boot, and try step 3 again) 4. After booting, open loader.exe again, click install and boot when prompted 5. After booting, go to http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/validatenow.aspx and follow the instructions to re-validate your Windows. 6. Open Windows update and and search for new updates to make sure youre cool.
Tisser | Tuesday, 29 March 2011 at 1:41 AM Hey, just wanted to say thank you, this worked, I ended up uninstalling the SP1, but my stuff was all messed up still, after a few hours of looking at your site, and trying a few methods, i finally used windows loader and the genuine check online, thank you.

james | Saturday, 02 April 2011 at 7:59 PM Do not install SP1, your asking for serious problems if you do. You can carry on downloading the normal patches apart from the patch listed above. Keep coming back here every so often before doing an update, and check for anything new thats come out on the update that may flag you as not genuine. It will save a lot of time and heart ache in the long run. If your running x64 you really dont need a lot of the updates anyway, in my opinion they arent really that critical.
Wansata | Wednesday, 13 April 2011 at 1:38 PM You Friggin Rock! Finally! This worked for me!!!!!
Calvin | Wednesday, 13 April 2011 at 9:43 PM This Works you just have to remember to use the rearm windows command afterwards as for that idiot who said you have to re-install your operating system dont listen to him. Alternatively if you cant fix your windows and dont want to pay for bloat-ware download Ubuntu Its legally free as are all the programs that run on it
aidilsyah | Wednesday, 20 April 2011 at 12:21 PM thank you so much bluah, you save my day. WORKS !!!!
theya | Saturday, 23 April 2011 at 9:50 PM To remove Window Activation Technologies, 1. Run removeWAT V2.2 2. Uninstall KB971003 3. Check updates. 4. Hide KB971003. No sweat! : )
theya | Saturday, 23 April 2011 at 9:52 PM By the way, use Remove WAT 2.2.6..
Name | Sunday, 24 April 2011 at 4:48 PM This exact procedure has worked for me where all else failed (I was flagged): 1. Uninstall kb971033 2. Reboot 3. Install Windows Loader 1.9.7 by Daz 4. Reboot 5. Open a command prompt (run as administrator) and excecute the following: slmgr -rearm 6. Reboot 7. Hide kb971033 so Windows Update wont install it again 8. Done!!!
herkie | Monday, 25 April 2011 at 12:36 PM These are the symptoms I have discovered if you are flagged as a non-genuine user: 1. The CPU usage is reduced to 50% capacity but it will not reflect on your performance monitor. 2. Random system interruptsinduced. Some applications crash. My guess is that most of your applications are now having countdown timers 3. Your internet flow is drastically reduced to 25%. Downloads and surfing suffers. I tried to download the Remove WAT but it no longer existed so I manually removed the WAT (Windows Activation Technologies) from my system. These are the steps I made: 1. Uninstall the windows update KB971033 (look up Windows Update under install updates) then hide or disable this update. My Update is gone completely from my systems if it turn up again, I will hide it. Do not set your update to automatic. I disabled it because I want to do it manually. 2. Registry editing: this is tricky and dangerous. Edit your registry (RUN REGEDIT), Locate the key

2. Registry editing: this is tricky and dangerous. Edit your registry (RUN REGEDIT), Locate the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Activation Technologies it vary with other computers but locate something similar nevertheless the word Windows Activation Technologies is used. If located delete the folder. I had a back up of my registry before this problem so I compared it and found out that this entry is completely new. 3. Go the Task Scheduler under Administrative Tools in the Control Panel. Open the folder: Task Scheduler Library/Microsoft/Windows. Bunch of details there. Locate the folder Windows Activation Technologies and delete that entry. 4. Restart the computer

Free vs Pay...BYE BYE MS | Monday, 23 May 2011 at 10:48 AM Geeee..I wonder how many more people this will chase to Ubuntu??? Thats where I am headed for good. Been running both Windows and Ubuntu. Not anymore! Why? Ubuntu is a free OS with Free software, Free Updates, Free, Free, Free Also, it is better, faster and safer than Windows! And, oh, BTW it runs Windows software apps in a shell too! (for free) I am not a Linux geek or anything. I just recently discovered just how great and easy Ubuntu/Linux is to use now. It looks and feels exactly like a tweaked windows OS. Almost forgot: You can install and run it right beside windows to preview or dual-boot this wonderful FREE OS! http://www.ubuntu.com/ Oh, and its FREE, FREE, FREE, FREE, FREEAND BETTER OKGOTTA GO REFORMAT AND REINSTALL ON THIS MACHINE. NOWLETS SEEWHERE DID I PUT THAT UBUNTU 11.04 DISK I DOWNLOADED. I THINK IT IS SOMEWHERE AROUND THAT BOX OF(FADING MUTTERING OFF INTO THE BACKGROUND) PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COPY AND PASTE ANY/ALL PORTIONS OF THE TEXT ABOVE EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!

Chris | Sunday, 29 May 2011 at 11:31 PM The procedures listed above for removing KB971033 worked for me and I havent experienced any problems for over a year until now. A couple weeks ago, I downloaded and installed update KB2533552 without really knowing what it was. Now Im getting the Windows is not genuine message twice at startup and in the lower right corner of my desktop. Ive restored my computer back to the point before installation of this update and hid it to prevent it from downloading/installing again. However, Im still getting the messages. Is there a way to get rid of these messages? Can I edit the registry as Herkie mentions here: http://geekmontage.com/how-to-uninstall-windows-7-activation-updatekb971033/#comment-21200?
tnu | Tuesday, 07 June 2011 at 11:26 AM hey guys! i fixed my sp1 non genuine by system restore back to time before i installed the sp1 then u can see the 971033 after u install sp1 it hides 971033 inside i guess. So it took like 2 hours i guess first it startup in windows all screen black only mouse then i restart again and then ok. I looked the 971033 uninstalled and after hide the sp1 too.
VinceJA | Friday, 17 June 2011 at 1:42 AM Great Job thank you so much. I am running 6 computers between work and my home and kids laptops, I cannot afford to purchase 6 licenses. I am on medicare and believe me, we seniors are getting screwed blued and tattooed. I am paying more for medication and medicare parts a,b c,and d, then I was paying working full time. I just retired in Feb of 2011. I am 70 and worded since I was 16. Thanks again

Thanks alot for the detailed instructions, upgraded to SP1 and have been tryin to activate for along time, was banging my head against the wall! Muchos gracias!
Calibud | Monday, 04 July 2011 at 2:24 PM After a friend upgraded my girlfriends laptop with Win 7 Ultimate the annoying unregistered messages, blacked out background and Build 7600 message started popping up. I downloaded Daz 2.0.4 from ran it as instructed went to Microsofts own site validated her copy and have never had the problem since. 5 minute fix. Quick, easy and totally effective.
Calibud | Monday, 04 July 2011 at 2:27 PM Also, update KB2533552, while also being an unstable crash instigating mess might also be the new KB971033
daniel | Sunday, 10 July 2011 at 4:53 PM GREAT WORK BRO its working ! thx very much
desai | Friday, 15 July 2011 at 1:21 AM remove wat does not work in windows 7
redherring | Friday, 15 July 2011 at 10:29 AM *slowly applauds* @ this website / Windows Loader 1.9.7 Still works: 15/07/2011
BOREC | Saturday, 30 July 2011 at 1:07 PM Its all bullshit. KB971033 reactivates itself every now and then. I do not know the exact period or action that triggers its activation but it does. I have added it to the HIDE LIST and when I check after a while it is back on the HISTORY list. If it doesnt screww up too much of your computer then you can uninstall it, then you uninstal REMOVE WAT tool, restart computer, install a new REMOVE WAT tool and it will hold for a while.
Dipta | Thursday, 04 August 2011 at 5:36 AM This method works perfectly forme First install the latest version of loader with certificate and SLIC matching the vendor of your pc.Then reboot n rearm
peterh | Sunday, 14 August 2011 at 2:55 AM worked fine for me.windows is activated ,but no matter if it crashes i only had 5 days left
Marc | Wednesday, 17 August 2011 at 12:58 PM Worked like a charm. For me the steps were: Remove KB971033 Reboot Run Remove WAT 2.2.5.2 Reboot The screen is still black, but the message about not being genuine is gone. Just select your wallpaper, apply and youre done. Thanks man!
THE HACKER | Monday, 22 August 2011 at 3:35 AM You can simply use WAT.EXE to activate windows7.

ishan | Sunday, 27 November 2011 at 9:32 AM dear sir, i want to know that there is any need to have update the window notifications in geniune window.
JelloELLO | Saturday, 14 January 2012 at 3:51 PM I just wanted to say thanks! I was able to fix it by doing the rearm windows instructions. I have Windows 7 Ultimate and had tried everything else! I did uninstall the update first and then hid it from updating later. After that I ran the rearm commands and was happy to see that the messages were not there anymore. THANKS AGAIN!
Subzero | Friday, 20 January 2012 at 8:14 AM seams that microsoft relesed a new patch to counter this fix
genki | Thursday, 26 January 2012 at 3:08 AM ^I confirm Subzeros comment, this update now automatically installs itself and is irreversible.
Dianne | Friday, 27 January 2012 at 11:32 AM I have a tracker program running and this WatAdminSvc.exe tries to dial out to connect with the following IPs: 72.246.19.73:80 akamai tech. 54.4.11.160:80 merck-woodbridge,NJ 65.55.12.249:80 ms 65.52.98.231:443 ms My copy of Win7 is legit, preinstalled on my laptop, so Im not trying to get over. I can see the 2 -ms links and maybe even the akamai, if they wrote the software for ms, Im just curious why my laptop is trying to connect to MERCK???????????? Is this a front for the government because I really cant see a pharma company wanting to spy on my computer??? Presently Im just auto-killing the process

MasterP | Sunday, 27 May 2012 at 3:48 PM Thanks for the info abcdefg i have used the same method as you except 2 things: -First i have restored the WAT with removeWAT 226 (must run it with admin rights) -I have used win 7 loader v 2.1.3 It worked like a charm it seems (crossing the fingers it stay like that 4ever)
Chilly8 | Tuesday, 29 May 2012 at 6:45 PM If you want to keep Windows update from ever installing it, just to into services, and disable the Windows Update service, and turn off all Windows updates. That will solve the problem. I never use Windows update. With good firewall and antivirus sofware, windows update is just redundant, and not needed, so I just disabled it in Services, and be done with it.
Chamila26 | Wednesday, 30 May 2012 at 8:14 AM .
Chamila26 | Wednesday, 30 May 2012 at 8:18 AM Try This if non of the above methods worked, try this out, if u still havent uninstalled the KB971033 update, uninstall it and reboot the computer
