  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 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 on Screen

    All of a sudden an Activate Windows watermark appeared on my screen. The system keeps shutting down with a blue screen and restarting. Windows was previously installed from the manufacture when I bought the laptop several years ago and was automatically
    updated to windows 10 from the windows 8. How do I remove the watermark and reactivate Windows so that updates can also download to my computer. It won't allow me to download Microsoft Office either. I don't want to purchase another key for this software
    unnecessarily.
