My copy of Windows 10 is not activated, due to errors involving multiple Windows resets (from an already activated copy of Windows). As a result, every so often (every 2 hours or so) I get a big, blue fullscreen popup saying to activate Windows. This popup doesn't allow any sort of inputs until the "Go to Settings" button appears a few seconds later. It's intrusive, especially when I'm working on something or playing a game.

Photo of screen because print screen doesn't work when the popup is on screen: Activate Windows popup

Is there a way to turn this off?

I've seen this Superuser question regarding disabling update popups, but I imagine the process would be similar, if the activation popup uses a similar method.

I've also tried poking through the registry, and found in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Activation fields called ActivationInterval, Manual, and NotificationDisabled, which I wonder if will do anything.

Windows 10 version 2004, build 19041.1.
