Summary
This article applies to volume-licensed Windows 7 Service Pack 1 devices that use Key Management Service (KMS) activation and have the KB 971033 update installed. Some users may receive the Windows Activation or 'Windows is not genuine' notifications starting at or after 10:00 UTC, January 8, 2019.
On January 9, 2019, we reverted a change that was made to Microsoft Activation and Validation servers. For devices that continue to report activation and 'not genuine' notifications, you should remove KB 971033 by following the steps in the Resolution section.
Windows editions that support volume-licensing activation include the following:
- Windows 7 Professional
- Windows 7 Professional N
- Windows 7 Professional E
- Windows 7 Enterprise
- Windows 7 Enterprise N
- Windows 7 Enterprise E
For Windows editions that experience activation and 'not genuine' errors that are not caused by the Microsoft Activation and Validation server change around January 8, 2019, we recommend that you follow standard activation troubleshooting.

Cause
A recent update to the Microsoft Activation and Validation unintentionally caused a 'not genuine' error on volume-licensed Windows 7 clients that had KB971033 installed. The change was introduced at 10:00:00 UTC on January 8, 2019, and was reverted at 4:30:00 UTC on January 9, 2019.
Note
This timing coincides with the release of the '1B' January 2019 updates (KB 4480960 and KB 4480970) that were released on Tuesday, January 8, 2019. These events are not related.
Windows 7 devices that have KB971033 installed but did not experience this issue between the time of the change (10:00:00 UTC, January 8, 2019) and the time of the reversion of that change (4:30:00 UTC, January 9, 2019) should not experience the issue that is described in this article.
KB971033 contains the following text:
'Note For an Enterprise customer who uses Key Management Service (KMS) or Multiple Activation Key (MAK) volume activation, we generally recommend to NOT install this update in their reference image or already deployed computers. This update is targeted at consumer installs of Windows using RETAIL activation.'
We strongly recommend that you uninstall KB971033 from all volume-licensed Windows 7-based devices. This includes devices that are not currently affected by the issue that is mentioned in the Symptoms section.
