How to Turn Off Windows Activation Messages in Windows 8

Using Winabler to Disable Security Messages

1. 
   Open the Winabler webpage. Winabler is a tool that allows you to force greyed-out (unclickable) buttons to allow you to click them.
2. 
   Click HERE to the left of a "Standard Installation" Winabler version. This will be either the 1625 KB or the 1723 KB version of Winabler.

   1. The other versions of Winabler on this page require additional setup, so stick to the standard installation versions.
3. 
   Double-click the Winabler set-up program. This should be on your desktop (or wherever your default save location is).

   1. You may need to verify that you wish to proceed with this program by clicking Yes.
4. 
   Follow the on-screen instructions. While setting up Winabler, you'll need to do the following:

   1. Agree to the terms of use.
   2. Select an install location.
5. 
   Open the Action Center settings menu if it isn't already open. While you're waiting for Winabler to finish installing, you'll want to navigate to the greyed-out Windows Activation box if you don't still have the menu open.
6. 
   Open Winabler. Do so by double-clicking the Winabler icon--it should be in the location you chose during setup.

   1. Winabler installs to your desktop by default.
7. 
   Click and drag the Winabler crosshairs onto the Windows Activation box. Doing so should unlock the button.

   1. The button may appear grey, but you should be able to click it after dropping the crosshairs onto it.
   2. If the box remains unclickable, try checking the Repeatedly enable objects that continually disable themselves box in the Winabler window and trying again.
8. 
   Uncheck the Windows Activation box.
9. 
   Click OK. Doing so will save your settings and prevent the Windows 8 activation messages from popping up.
10. 
    Consider Activating Windows 8. The only long-term fix for those pesky Windows activation messages is to verify your version of Windows 8.
