    Random Activate Windows watermark?


    On oct 15th, i i updated my PC. It used to be a windows 10 home edition, but now is stating it is a PRO edition and is asking for activation. Support Has beenll but useless as any issues related to activation bring me through a neverending loop of automated phone bots (curse MSFT for not having real support). I would like to know how to revert back to the original windows 10 home that i had with this computer or permanently remove the watermark.


    If it takes a fresh reinstall i will do that but i really would like to keep that as a last ditch effort. I DO NOT have a product key as i purchased the drives windows was installed on from a friend.

    :)

  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

    Random Activate Windows watermark?

    Windows 10 Activation watermark causes mouse input lag

    It is more than the watermark. Windows 10 has underlying features that take effect when you have gone over the eval period that MS allows with an install that is not activated. Suggest activating either with a previous Windows 8.x license or purchasing a license.
