  1. "Activate windows" watermark freezes it's background in game


    For content, My pc is using Windows 11 Pro, I downloaded the system using a USB stick that installed Windows 11 Pro on the official Microsoft Windows 11 Pro download website. I don't have a full product key for Windows 11 Pro. At first, when I downloaded the system, the watermark wouldn't be bugged like this, but after a few weeks, whenever I start playing games, the background of the watermark freezes just like in the image

  2. Activate Windows Watermark

    Hi Duncan,

    The Windows activation watermark is usually appearing if the activation servers detect that a device is not activated. For further help with activating your copy of Windows 10, visit this
    link. If the same issue persists after performing the troubleshooting suggestions on the link, follow these steps:

    • Using Cortana, type Notepad and then click on Notepad (Desktop app).
    • Type the following commands in Notepad:
      • @Echo off

        taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe

        explorer.exe

        exit

    • Save the file and name it as Activation.bat.

    • Change the Save as type to All files.

    • Locate the file, right-click on it and then choose Run as Administrator.

    • After running the file, restart your computer and then check if the same issue persists.

    Let us know if further assistance is needed.

  3. Activate Windows watermark

    I keep getting the Activate Windows watermark. I have done the suggested things such as editing the regedit, creating the removal.bat file, but the watermark keeps returning.

    My windows is legit, and I have had it for 3 years now. Can someone please help me?

  4. "Activate windows" watermark freezes it's background in game

    Activate Windows watermark will not go away.

    The "Activate Windows" watermark on the lower right of my screen will not go away. I have successfully activated windows. The issue is the persistence of the watermark. I have had multiple suggestions from people on this forum of things to modify in the
    registry, none of which have worked. I have installed all of the latest available Windows updates.

    Thanks,

    Dennis
