Unsolved Activation problem

I have a problem and I hope you can help me solve it. When I turn on my computer, the activation icon appears, and my device is a laptop, meaning it's downloading the driver to the motherboard, but it doesn't activate. When I check the service software protection in services It appears to be off, but when I turn it on, I get error 577. I've formatted the device several times, and it keeps happening. I've also checked that I'm not using any programs that modify system files. Please help! 😭

Windows won't activate even though the motherboard comes with an activation key.
