Can unactivated windows 10 affect gpu running 3d acceleration

[ohlerr87]

Can an unactivated Windows 10 affect how your GPU runs 3D acceleration while playing games such as World of Warcraft I keep getting a message that 3D acceleration is being blocked

It shouldn't. Have you got latest Graphics drivers?

one fix is to create a new local account and see if same thing happens - https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/4026923/windows-10-create-a-local-user-or-administrator-account (make it admin and copy contents of C:\users\username from old use to new one)
