Authentication. Windows Authenticity - How to Disable in Different Versions of the Operating System

It's no secret that a large part of users in our country work with not too licensed Windows OS. This is due to many factors that we will not discuss in detail in this article. It is not surprising that authentication is hindered by authentication. Authenticity Windows - how to disable this feature? Let's try to figure this out.

What is this?

The main utility with which Microsoft learns about unlicensed copies of Windows is the WGA program, which is installed in the operating system the first time you start the Windows Update service. In principle, in older versions of "Windows" its sole purpose was to block the update channel.

In Window Vista, however, its purpose was much more severe: the functionality of the unlicensed system was sharply curtailed, which encouraged PC owners to purchase a legal copy of the system. But our users were not at all embarrassed by authentication. "The authenticity of Windows - how to disable it?" - they asked in the forums.

Of course, the collective mind eventually found such a method. All the methods described below can be used only at your own risk and risk, as in some cases their application can lead to very adverse consequences for the whole system as a whole. But you know, we do not encourage you to disable authentication, because it's best to buy a legal copy.

Windows XP

First, we'll figure out how to disable Windows XP authentication. If you have the Windows Update service enabled, KB905474 is installed on your system, which causes many problems. At once we will make a reservation that generally the service of updatings is extremely important, as allows to close the found breaches in security systems that prevents virus attacks.

By the way, what prevents to prohibit the installation of KB905474 in advance? Of course, this is quite possible. It's just constantly distracted from work, forbidding the download of this patch, you soon get bored. So sooner or later it will be established.

What happens after installing WGA?

By the way, how do you know if your system contains this update? Alas, but it's not difficult to guess: immediately after unauthenticated authentication you will see the notification "Unfortunately, your copy of Windows is not licensed."

If you click on the "Cancel" button or just close the warning dialog box, it will disappear. But it will appear the next time the system boots. In case you click on the "Next" button, the system will offer you to buy a licensed version, along the way listing all the dangers to which users of pirated copies of Windows are exposed. If you are impressed, you can follow the advice.

If not, then you will get a small banner that will settle in the lower right corner of the desktop and will constantly remind you of your unconsciousness. Important! Before you disable Windows XP authentication, do not unplug the Windows Update service, since some of the methods listed below will certainly not work in this case.

We begin to solve the problem

To do this, you will need to follow one of the tips below. Important! Not all of them can help in all cases, so you have to sort through them in order to find a really working method. So, how do I disable Windows Authentication?

Deleting the folder KB905474

When the system prompts you to install the "Notification Tool ...", click on the "Cancel" button, and then find the folder KB905474. There are the following files: wganotifypackageinner.exe, wgasetup.exe, and wga_eula.txt. After you find them, delete the entire directory.

Since we are talking about Windows XP, no administrative privileges will be required, and there will be no need to enter the safe mode either. Next, you will have to go to the "Scheduler" and delete the existing "WGASetup" task. Then we look for WGASetup.job, delete it.

We work with the register

This option is offered for those who missed the moment of installation of the ill-fated update, after which a malicious banner appeared on the desktop. Click on the "Start" button, look for the "Run" field, then enter the regedit command there. The Registry Editor dialog box appears, with which we will work.

Before you can disable Windows XP SP3 authentication, you need to completely remove the Notify partition. To do this, select it with the left mouse button, and then click on the Delete button.

All! As you can see, this method does not differ in particular complexity of execution! To test the success of the work, restart Windows. If everything is in order, you will not see any more information about the illegal origin of your copy of the operating system.

Blocking the site with updates

Find the hosts file. Open the last file in the usual "Notepad", after which you append the line "127.0.0.1 mpa.one.microsoft.com" to its end. To do this, right-click on it, select "Open with."

Important! We do not recommend doing this, since this is equivalent to completely disabling the update service. This means that you will not get any patches, and your system will be vulnerable to viruses and other malicious programs.

WGA 1.9.9.1 Crack

From this moment our narrative finally passes into the section of theories. We do not in any way suggest that you use this method, but give its description solely for informational purposes. Even if you decide to take it into service, you will have to do it solely at your own peril and risk.

So, you will have to find the WGA Validation 1.9.9.1 Crack program on the vast expanses of the Internet, which is designed specifically to bypass the system authentication system. Its value is that after installing this application you can use Windows Update system without hindrances by installing all the updates on the Microsoft website.

Program installation

It's incredibly simple. You only need to unzip the file installer.bat, and then run it with administrator rights. To do this, you need to right-click on it, then select "Run as administrator" in the pop-up menu. Then all operations will be performed in automatic mode.

If Windows XP still requires activation

If all the above methods did not work, we suggest you use the WPA-Kill module, which you will also have to search on the Internet on your own. Leave it on the flash drive, after disabling the antivirus program.

First, you need to boot the system in safe mode. To do this, press the F8 key immediately after the BIOS logo appears on the computer display. A list of all possible boot options appears, among which you need to select the method you need. Wait until the system boots.

Connect to the computer a USB flash drive, on which WPA-Kill is recorded, after preliminary disabling the anti-virus program. Go into the folder with the program, find there the file antiwpa-2.0-winxp-2k3. Run it as administrator, right-clicking on the file and selecting the appropriate item in the context menu.

If the system displays a failure message, try erasing the data.dat file. Run the program again and follow its prompts while working.

And here's how to disable Windows 7 authentication (build 7600)? Fortunately, it's easy enough.

How to bypass Windows 7 authentication?

All would be well, but Windows XP support was recently officially discontinued. Therefore, authentication does not make much sense. The authenticity of Windows (how to disable it we have discussed so far) makes sense to deactivate only in the case of Windows 7. If for some reason you are still a user of Windows Vista, then the below-mentioned method will also help you.

This is another utility, the principle of operation of which differs somewhat from the above. It allows you to easily download and install updates, even if your system does not have a key at all. In addition, at the moment it is not detected by the system itself, but antiviruses consider it to be dangerous.

So before you disable Windows 7 authentication, you must also deactivate your anti-virus protection (if any). After this you can continue. Installation of the program is extremely simple and does not differ in this respect from the above application. After installation, it will perform the system reboot.

There is also a simpler option. Remember how we talked about removing the update folder on Windows XP? Do you know how to disable Windows 7 Authentication (build 7601 and earlier) in about the same way? To do this, you must follow the same steps, but you must remove the update KB971033. Then you need to reboot the system.

Disable Windows 8 Authentication

The latest version of the operating system from Microsoft - a very strong nut in terms of security. So how do I disable Windows 8 authentication, how realistic is it? Sadly, we must report that none of the above methods works on it.

In this operating system, authentication is closely tied to Internet services and a user account, so modifying the registry or even system files will not do anything. Have to either buy a legal version of Windows, or look for a valid key on the Internet.

That's what authentication is for. The authenticity of Windows (how to disable it, we already know) is very important for obtaining all the important additions and services from Microsoft in full. So we still advise you to purchase a legal "Windows". Moreover, at present many users still prefer to update computers by the time of the new version, and therefore in any case they get a legal operating system together with the purchased equipment. In addition, so you encourage the work of its developers.

Attention!

Once again, we remind you that you take all of the above actions solely at your own peril and risk. In particular, we wrote about some utilities, after installation of which the system no longer checks its validity. It should be remembered that it is necessary to look for them on very questionable sites, where you can easily "pick up" the virus. So you need to be extremely careful and accurate, otherwise instead of the free system you can lose all your data, and the system itself in the bargain.
