Windows 10: 'Activate Windows' watermark shows up when I have them activated.

Hello,

So I have this problem. I have an activated version of Windows 10 Pro on my computer, but recently, I've been getting the "Activate Windows" watermark showing up and not going away until I reboot the computer. This started happening when I upgraded to Windows 10 Build 1909 via the Windows 10 Update Assistant. Any way to solve this, or is this just a bug?


Thanks in advance,

jakov

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.

 

Windows activation . . .

In the Windows activation status page is it still showing as activated, or do you have something like 3 days to do it in?
