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.

WGA Disable Greyed Out
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:

  1. Launch Windows Update website.
  2. When prompted to choose either Express or Custom in Windows Update, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security and choose Internet.
  3. Set the Security Level for Internet zone to High by sliding the slider to the top.
  4. Click OK to continue.
  5. Now on Windows Update, click on Custom. Ignore any warning about ActiveX control been blocked.
  6. WGA validation will be bypassed, and you will see a list of updates available to your system or a blank page.
  7. Now go back to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security and choose Internet, and change back the Security Level to Medium, or simply click Default.
  8. Click OK to continue.
  9. 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.
  10. Continue to install updates for your Windows XP.

Set the security level to High.

WGA Blank Screen
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.

    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.
