Method 3: Activate Windows via Chat Support. If Method 2 didn’t enable you to resolve the “Unable to reach Windows activation servers” error, let’s try activating your Windows version through Chat Support. Luckily, Windows 10 includes a new convenient chat option that can be used for product activation. Press Windows key + R to open a Run Window. Type “control update” and hit Enter to open Windows. Notes: If you don't see Go to Microsoft Store on the Activation page, contact your organization's support person. If you made a substantial hardware changes to your device (such as replacing the motherboard) and you have a valid product key, try to activate Windows by phone. KMS activation is good for only 30 days and must contact an authorized server on a corporate network to re-activate. For example, if Contosso Corp uses KMS activation, every Windows computer they own will need to talk to their KMS server every 30 days to remain activated. These servers are not accessible from the Internet.

The server in the code might have access to your computer, and that is why I do not recommend this method of activation
Your system might detect it as a virus and remove it (one of the reasons why I DO NOT recommend this method).
- Save the file as activator.bat and pick All files as the file type.
- Right Click on the file and Run as Administrator
- Wait for the Command Prompt to complete running the code.
- When you receive the message whether to restart PC, enter Y and click Enter.
