Bypass Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Check in Windows Update
Update: WGA hacks listed here no longer works, visit here or here (look for WPA registry hack) for more methods of patching WGA update and more ways to hack wga to enable you to use Microsoft Update bypassing WGA validation and also disable and bypass “This copy of Windows is not genuine” warning message.
Microsoft has just released an compulsory update to Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) Validation Tool that makes most of the workarounds, hacks, patches and cracks to bypass and skip the WGA validation check useless.
Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool was introduced by Microsoft beginning from second half of 2005, where the tool will check and validate your system’s Windows XP whether it is licensed, certified as authentic, and published and supported by Microsoft, before you can obtain programs from the Microsoft Download Center or receive software updates from Windows Update.
With the new WGA update, it is now impossible to bypass Windows Genuine Advantage validation check by disabling or turning off WGA Validation Tool in Manage Add-Ons in Internet Explorer. The Enable and Disable settings for WGA Validation Tool no longer selectable, with the option greyed out so that you unable to select Disable to deactivate the WGA ActiveX.

Disable been disabled (greyed out) after the latest WGA update.
If your WGA Validation Tool ActiveX control in Internet Explorer’s Add-ons is deactivated or disabled, and you can’t enable the ActiveX control as the current version of WGA controls no longer allows you to change the state of enable or disable, as the radio buttons are greyed out. But if the Validation Tool stays disabled, you might have problem when using Windows Update or Microsoft Update, even after you applied other patches to bypass the validation process or using when using muBlinder. To reactivate and enable the Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool, launch Registry Editor and navigate to following branch:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\Ext\CLSID]
Then, change the value date of the key “{17492023-C23A-453E-A040-C7C580BBF700}” to 1 (enabled), which its initial value should be 0 (disabled).
However, it’s still possible to bypass the WGA check when using Windows Update by using the following method of Windows validation crack, at least for now:
- Launch Windows Update website.
- When prompted to choose either Express or Custom in Windows Update, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security and choose Internet.
- Set the Security Level for Internet zone to High by sliding the slider to the top.
- Click OK to continue.
- Now on Windows Update, click on Custom. Ignore any warning about ActiveX control been blocked.
- WGA validation will be bypassed, and you will see a list of updates available to your system or a blank page.
- Now go back to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security and choose Internet, and change back the Security Level to Medium, or simply click Default.
- Click OK to continue.
- If you see a blank page, click on any link under Select by Type or Select by Product that listed on the left pane to show the list of updates available.
- Continue to install updates for your Windows XP.
Set the security level to High.

A almost blank screen that most likely be seen after Windows Update bypass WGA validation and check for available updates with this method.
Update: Disable Genuine Windows Validation with JavaScript
This method to bypass WGA validation check has been around for a while, and it is still workable even after the latest around of update to Windows Genuine Advantage Tool (version 1.5).
Note: As with above method, both methods only workable to get pass the validation check on Windows Update, and not when you try to download from Microsoft Download Center.
When you arrive Windows Update screen when it asks you to choose Express or Custom, copy and paste the following JavaScript to the Address Bar of your browser.
javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck=’all’)
Or, if you want some sort of notification that the WGA check has been disabled, you can use the following JavaScript. Again, copy and paste it to the Address Bar.
javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck=’all’);void(alert(’WGA Check disabled.\n\nContinue…’))
With the above JavaScript, there will be a prompt to notify you “WGA Check disabled”. To make thing easier, you can bookmark or add to favorites the JavaScript so that next time when needed, you just only need to click on the bookmark or favorite.

The best way to get passed Windows Genuine Advantage is to let Auto Updated install it and then when the WGA setup Pops up cancel it, this way windows registers that it was installed even though it wasn’t and procedes to download and install the SP2 which is a very helpful tool. Your welcome, Enjoy, Josh

Just don’t install the windows updates automatically! Do it manually en when de WGA appears just don’t install it. Easy as that!

These tricks only patch Windows and also they aren`t 100% truthful. You have to fix basic problem: your CD-key is banned or not valid. To fix this problem you have to change CD-key. Thatway I have posted 4 tools to make your Windows GENUINE. It works 100% (OK , maybe not 100% because microsoft may has changed his security system, I don`t know if he has done that) Anyway I was able to make my Windows XP VALID. ) So if you decide to try this solution , download windows.rar from this site: http://rapidshare.com/files/32959804/windows.rar

Another new WGA bypass method providing across the board successful validation. This method involves changing the XP Pro VLK.
This is another version of the “Keychange and Loopback” technique using a nice tool called WGALoopback.exe that replaces wga-fix.exe
WGAValidator Package:
http://spacebag.googlepages.com/wga-notify-index2
The WGAValidator Package includes:
———–
WGALoopback.exe (wga-fix.exe replacement)
“Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder” (keyfinder.exe)
“Windows XP-2003 key generator utility” (Windows XP Keygen.exe)
———–
The new utility, WGALoopback.exe, does the host file loopback as well as allows you to tell it to remove any existing WGA files.
host file entry that is created:
127.0.0.1 mpa.one.microsoft.com
edited hosts file location:
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Enjoy.
February 14th, 2007 00:07
please try this software (included simple manual). with this software you can download everything from microsoft website without WGA checking.

i realized that just changing one value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/Microsoft/WindowsNT/current version/WPAEvents (OOBETimer) and then correcting it again after restarting your pc it will let you download any software from microsoft.

YOU MUST HAVE ACCESS TO A COMPUTER SCHOOL,LIBRARY,WHATEVER ( I DON’T RECOMMEND COPYING YOUR EMPLOYER’S OR YOUR MOM’S)
VALID OEM OR RETAIL KEY.
MUST HAVE
1. ACCESS TO THE ABOVE MENTIONED COMPUTERS
2. ACCESS TO THE REGISTRY(REGEDIT.EXE) ON SAID COMPUTER
3. USB THUMB DRIVE
4. DOWNLOAD SLEEP.EXE (TAKES LESS THAN 5 MINUTES TO FIND WITH GOOGLE)
HERE WE GO
NOTE ALL THE FILES YOUR CREATING WILL BE IN BETWEEN >>> AND >>>>>
THE “START OF” AND “END OF” SHOULD NOT BE IN YOUR FINISHED FILE!
1ST THING WERE GOING TO DO IS CREATE A BATCH FILE TO GET THE KEYS
start of GetRegKeys.bat
@echo off
echo.
echo “getting the three registry keys needed”
echo.
echo.
echo “getting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Registration”
regedit /E iexplore.reg “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Registration”

OK OPEN THE NOTEPAD APPLICATION HIGHLIGHT THE ABOVE TEXT
EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN start of GetRegKeys.bat AND end of GetRegKeys.bat
RIGHT CLICK COPY AND PASTE IN THE NOTEPAD NOW CLICK>> FILE >>SAVE AS GetRegKeys.bat
NOTE THAT BATCHFILE CAN BE RAN FROM ANY LOCATION ON THE THE COMPUTER YOU WILL END UP WITH A FILE IN THE DIRECTORY
YOU RUN THE GETREGKEYS.BAT FILE FROM.(IT CAN BE RAN DIRECTLY FROM A USB THUMBDRIVE)
YOU SHOULD HAVE THREE REGISTRY FILES
iexplore.reg
windcurrver.reg this file needs to be edited READ BELOW
oem.reg this file needs to be edited READ BELOW
OK ASSUMING YOUR HOME NOW LETS CONTINUE!
NEXT EDIT WINDCURRVER.REG
(windcurrver.reg)this file needs editing right click the windcurrver.reg file on the desktop click edit
it should look like this when your done
start of wincurrver.reg

end of oem.reg
WHERE IT SAYS BIG STRING OF NUMBERS (I REMOVED THEM FOR OBVIOUS REASONS) IT WILL BE JUST WHAT IT SAYS A BIG STRING OF NUMBERS.
(THIS KEY IS WHAT MICROSCUM SCANS FOR ON WGA – WINDOWS UPDATE – WINDOWS DOWNLOAD – BETA-INSTALL – EXTRAS INSTALL)
NEXT CREATE A REGISTRY FILE TO START THE WORKAROUND WITH YOUR COMPUTER
start of start.reg

EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN start uninstall.bat AND end uninstall.bat
RIGHT CLICK COPY AND PASTE IN THE NOTEPAD NOW CLICK FILE SAVE AS uninstall.bat
OK YOU HAVE ALL THE FILES MADE GO ON GOOGLE AND DOWNLOAD SLEEP.EXE
AFTER YOU DOWNLOAD THAT PUT ALL OF THESE FILES IN A FOLDER NAMED KEY PUT UNINSTALL.BAT IN A FOLDER NAMED
UNINSTALL INSIDE THE KEY FOLDER.
(RECOMMENDED) ON YOUR COMPUTER (BEFORE INSTALLING) RUN THE GetRegKeys.bat TO BACKUP YOUR ORIGINALL KEYS BEFORE
INSTALLING PUT THE BACKUP KEYS IN THE UNINSTALL FOLDER THE uninstall.bat FILE WILL RE REGISTER THE KEYS
WHEN YOU RUN uninstall.bat
DOUBLE CHECK ALL YOUR WORK IF IT ALL LOOKS THE SAME AS THE INSTRUCTIONS
THEN DOUBLE CLICK INSTALL.BAT “FROM THE KEY FOLDER ON YOUR DESKTOP”
NOTE THE UNINSTALL WORKS THE SAME WAY “FROM THE KEY FOLDER ON YOUR DESKTOP”
THAT’S IT LOG OFF AND LOG BACK ON NO REBOOT IS NEEDED
WHEN XP COMES UP YOU SHOULD SEE THE COMMAND WINDOW MINIMIZED IN THE TASKBAR.
WHEN XP COMES UP RIGHT CLICK THE TASK BAR CLICK TASK MANAGER
CLICK THE PROCESSES TAB AND YOU SHOULD SEE SLEEP.EXE AS A PROCESS IT WILL DISSAPEAR IN 35 SECONDS
AFTER IT DISSAPEARS
CLICK START>SETTINGS>CONTROL PANEL>SYSTEM LOOK AT THE PRODUCT ID BELOW “REGISTERED TO” YOU SHOULD NOW SEE THE PRODUCT ID
OF THE XP YOU GOT IT FROM AND YOU WILL BE LEGIT FOR WGA (AS LONG AS THE COMPUTER YOU GOT IT FROM WAS LEGIT)
AND MICROSCUM DOES NOT FIND OUT ABOUT THIS AND MAKE THE KEYS TAMPER-PROOF.
THE FUNNY PART OF THIS WHOLE THING IS 8 FILES TOTALING 134KB JUST WIPED OUT ALL MICROSOFT’S EFFORTS TO CONTROL XP
ANOTHER FUNNY THING ABOUT THIS IS THE XP CORP NON ACTIVATION STAYS IN PLACE SO YOU CAN REINSTALL XP-CORP THEN REINSTALL
THIS WORKAROUND OR CHANGE ALOT OF HARDWARE AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ACTIVATION.

Easy way, no hack. Install Win98SE, Install IE 6SP1. That’s it ! Go to MS Download. Get everything you want(even WMP 11 Beta). If you need patch for XP(or even Vista) get it from Windows Update Catalog. If you can see the catalog, click Personalize thingy. MS dont give a shit to 98 anymore. And so does virus/hack makers out there. They all aim XP now.

As of 17 June I have solved my WGA check Windows Update download blocking by using a simple and effective tool called MuBlinder http://www.p2plife.com/forums/Official_muBlinder_Page-t320.html
No mucking around!
I simply ran MuBlinder and updated through it
I was able to see all windows updates
Easy to use
Cheers

hey guys!
it doesn’t work! its being impossiable to get update and new software from MS
avaiz84@hotmail.com add me if any one get any crack or any way to resolve this problem

Here’s an idea….Why not shell out $100 dollars and you wont have to go through all the pain you are going through now. By this time the pirated version of window you are using has deffinately paid for itself by now.

That doesnt work dude.. And your directions are horrible.. Theres more then one key with LegitCheckControl.dll in it..
When you go to Update it just makes you validate AGAIN!
June 2nd, 2006 08:32
The fix I posted works.
June 2nd, 2006 06:45
nothing seems to work…
more ideas any one?
June 2nd, 2006 05:33
Yes, there is a new way around this trash. Open up regedit, and then search for LegitCheckControl.dll. Next, highlight the LegitCheckControl.dll folder, and delete all entries to the right. Now, go to windows update, and choose custom, and you will be good to go.

well, i tried all the tricks on this page and it doesn’t work as it did last week. Microsoft has apparently found a solution. This is a pity since I just reinstalled Windows last night… so a lot security holes aren’t fixed and my pc is very vulnerable. Anyone found a new trick?

[...] If you disable Automatic Updates, you can always download any updates from Windows Update or Microsoft Update using the hacks and tips from here and here.

Doesn’t work now.. They seem to have caught on to this trick.. now it just takes you to the validate or show me other product updates.. and then the active x warning up top in the toolbar says it wasn’t able to run.. So even when you set the shit off it still tries to validate you.. They switched this like within the last couple days.. And i noticed it takes much longer to process your computer..
Screwed for now, i guess..
May 18th, 2006 04:10
I purchased a legit PC with windows installed. When the HD corrupted and died, so did my operating system. As far as I am concerned I have paid for the privelige of using Windows XP and don’t care what I have to do to work around this validation rubbish.
Damn Microsoft…Damn you all to hell!
You God Damn maniacs!!!!!

May 15th, 2006 14:06
Yes, this works well.. Just make sure you don’t download Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (KB905474) if its sitting there in the updates.. Matter of fact, make sure it never shows up again.. haha! Set it to never show again..

thanx for the info on how to bypass the validation process,works a treat,27/3/06
March 18th, 2006 19:49
yuyu, it’s working at my PC. Try using IE to do the update or download instead of other browsers like Firefox.
March 18th, 2006 19:41
tried. it’s not working.
March 15th, 2006 13:24
Thanks for the information =)!

[...] As detailed in Bypass Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Check in Windows Update, Microsoft has made it harder for illegitimate, or for whatever reason, your copy of Microsoft Windows couldn’t be validated, users to retrieve updates via Microsoft Updates or Windows Update, and download programs from Microsoft Download Center. If you just want to download and apply critical updates to your system, you will be still able to do that without any hack and crack. Just set your Windows’ Automatic Updates (found in Control Panel) setting to Automatic, and let Windows does the updating job in the background. The downside is, it won’t get for you the optional updates. [...]
