    Upgrade to Win10 did not remove Desktop Message

    At some point when I still had Win7 installed and after I had done a Win7 update; a message appeared in the lower right corner of my desktop that said:

    Test Mode

    Windows 10 Pro

    Build 10586

    I've just upgraded this machine to Win10 and the message is still there.

    Why?

    What is wrong?

    What must I do to remove that message?

    Windows 10 Pro - No Windows Spotlight option in Lock Screen

    I've build 10586, and I'm able to select Windows Spotlight. But when I lock my SP3, I only see the default picture: The plane with the red wings, looking down on a tropical Island.

    And no option to refresh it.

    I have another Windows 10 Enterprise workstation (on Hyper-V), and there I've the option "Don't like what you see", to force a refresh. This option is not available on my Surface Pro 3, Windows 10 Pro, build 10586.

    Why Microsoft? Why? It's a Microsoft device, for heaven's sake!

    If it is you may have test mode turned on (normally to let unsigned drivers run). You can turn it off with this command from elevated command prompt Code: bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING OFF[/quote] See The TESTSIGNING Boot Configuration Option - Windows 10 hardware dev

    Thanks a lot. Yes, it was activated, but the bcdedit command did the trick. Must have been a trackpad utility I tried to install earlier.
