Disable antivirus temporarily
Windows Defender may flag the activator as a false positive. Temporarily disable real-time protection or add the extracted folder as an exclusion before running.

Run as Administrator
Right-click KMSPico.exe → Run as administrator. Accept the UAC prompt. The activation process starts automatically.

Verify activation
Open Settings → System → Activation and confirm Windows is activated. Alternatively run slmgr /xpr in an elevated command prompt.
Manual KMS Activation (Command Prompt)
Advanced users can activate without the GUI tool using these commands in an elevated command prompt:
GVLK for Windows 10 Pro:W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX · Official GVLK for Windows 10 Pro (1507 through 22H2)
Activating Windows 10 Pro specifically
Windows 10 Pro is the most common edition for KMS activation because Pro is a volume-friendly edition with a well-known Generic Volume Licence Key. When you activate Pro through KMS, Windows installs that GVLK, points itself at a Key Management Service host, and activates — no unique retail key required. KMSPico performs all three steps automatically and runs the host locally, so Pro activates in seconds on any PC.
Why choose the KMS route for Pro
It works whether you upgraded from Home, did a clean install, or reset your PC.
It survives Windows updates because the licence lives in the licensing store, not in patched files.
Activation renews on a 180-day cycle automatically, so Pro stays activated.
Doing it manually
Prefer the command line? Use slmgr /ipk with the Windows 10 Pro GVLK, slmgr /skms to set the host, then slmgr /ato — all listed in our slmgr command reference. Hitting an error like 0xC004F074? The troubleshooting hub has the fix.
Yes. KMS reactivates automatically every 180 days in the background — you never need to repeat the process manually.
KMS activation uses volume licensing keys. For Home editions use the correct GVLK listed below. Pro and Enterprise editions are the most common KMS targets.
Some security tools flag KMS activators as PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications) due to how they modify licensing services. Adding an exclusion or using the password-protected RAR bypasses this. The tool itself contains no harmful payload.
No. KMSPico performs local activation — no internet connection required after the tool is run.
