Windows 10: "Activate Windows" watermark randomly popped for no reason after the latest windows update

Sometimes the message pops up the moment i boot up my pc, sometimes it doesn't show up until hours later while using it and i don't know what's wrong, pls help

:)

 

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

 

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.

Activate Windows watermark pops up

Since yesterday, I have encountered an issue where after about an hour or two of use a watermark pops up that says to activate windows. When I tried using the troubleshoot tool, it says "We found a Windows 10 Home digital license for this device running
Windows 10 Pro. To activate using this digital license, you need to install Windows 10 Home." I tried reinstalling windows but this issue keeps occurring. How can I stop the watermark from popping up?
