  1. Windows 10 Pro Test Mode watermark


    I have a user who is experiencing the "Test Mode" watermark. I've tried a few fixes, such as bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF , as well as running sigverif. When I ran sigverif, I was told that all drivers are digitally signed. After restart, the bcdedit fix will keep the watermark away for 3-4 hours, and then it comes back again. Any ideas?

    :)

  2. Test Mode Watermark on Windows 10

    Hi Marjie,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you are getting test mode watermark on Windows 10. I will certainly help you in resolving the issue.

    The test mode watermark may appear in the bottom right part of your Windows desktop, if you install an application whose drivers are not digitally signed by Microsoft and if they are still in the testing phase.

    I recommend you to follow below steps to disable the test mode watermark and check if it helps.

    1. Right click on Start, click on Command Prompt (Admin).

    2. Type bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF and press Enter.

    (The TESTSIGNING boot configuration option is disabled through the above BCD Edit command)

    3. Check to see if the issue is resolved. If not, restart the system and check.

    Test Mode Watermark Windows 10

    Hi Lee,

    To assist you better, kindly provide us more details by answering the following questions:

    • Which operating system are you using?
    • When did you start encountering the issue?
    • Have you made any changes on your computer prior to the issue?
    The test mode message indicates that the test signing mode of the operating system is started on the computer. The test signing mode may start if an installed program is in a test phase because it uses drivers that are not digitally signed by Microsoft.
    Microsoft added test mode to Windows so that users can test programs without having to provide an authentication certificate.

    Meanwhile, to help resolve your concern, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X on your keyboard.
    • Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Copy or type the command below and then hit Enter:

      bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF

    Should you need further assistance, feel free to get back to us.
