How do I disable the windows 7 activation system in this situation?

Question

My windows somehow "expired" and I need to activate it or its not Genuine, and it'll shut down every hour. That's normal. I've seen couple ways to activate it like putting in activation keys, but I am tired of doing so.I found out that usually when you go to control panel>admin. tools>computer management>system protection and disable it as well as the updates, it'll stop.But my computer can't disable it. It just says in grey, "Automatic (Delayed Start).Is it because the windows7 is expired? I am a administrator user, so I do have access to all admin stuff.

Solution

Method 1: Regedit:

Please navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\sppsvc and locate Start registry key

Double click on Start and edit the value:

Change Startup type :

• Automatic - 2
• Manual - 3
• Disabled - 4
• Automatic (Delayed Start) - 2

Note: When you change to Automatic (Delayed Start) a new key DelayedAutostart is created with value 1. When you change to Automatic from Automatic (Delayed Start), DelayedAutostart change value to 0.
