Windows 10: Activate Windows watermark while having an active 11E subscription

Long story short, I got a new laptop for work purposes which came with Win 11 Home.Upgraded that to 11 Pro using the generic key ending in 3V66T and then once Pro was up and running I logged onto my corporate account and activated the Enterprise. Unfortunately, something went awry on the way and the watermark started showing up. When I jump into settings and activation, my activaction state is "not active" and throwing error code 0xC004C003 but at the same time, my subscription shows as active for Win 11E. Unfortunately our IT is less than helpful and I've been left to deal with this issue mys

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.

 

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?

 

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
