Dual Boot Windows Activation Issue

I added a second Windows installation for testing, and after switching between the systems the activation status on one side did not update properly. The system booted fine and Office was already installed, but the activation state still needed to be completed. Has anyone handled this after a dual boot setup?

Dual boot caused the activation status to behave strangely for me because both systems were installed correctly, but one of them kept showing an unfinished state after switching back. In the notes from that setup, Activator Pico completed activation after I confirmed the correct partition, Windows edition, and Office installation. I restarted into the same system again and checked Word, Excel, and the activation page. The status stayed completed, and I did not need to remove the second Windows installation.
