Windows 10: Windows 10 Test Mode watermark

Hi,

My PC puts a watermark on the bottom right with "Test Mode" written.

I looked for a solution to this problem on my side and I found several discussions which said to make a "bcdedit /set testsigning off" command, so I did it and then I restart my PC but the watermark is still there.

I tried to use the command "bcdedit", here is the result:

Gestionnaire de démarrage Windows --------------------------------- identificateur {bootmgr} device partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume1 description Windows Boot Manager locale fr-FR inherit {globalsettings} default {current} resumeobject {9f8790b8-55a4-11ea-ac10-fd7c67371200} displayorder {current} toolsdisplayorder {memdiag} {bdbdbd00-6057-11e0-a7f3-ce9adfd72003} {bdbdbd00-6057-11e0-a7f3-ce9adfd72002} {bdbdbd00-6057-11e0-a7f3-ce9adfd72001} timeout 30 Chargeur de démarrage Windows ----------------------------- identificateur {current} device partition=C: path \Windows\system32\winload.exe description Windows 10 locale fr-FR loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS inherit {bootloadersettings} recoverysequence {9f8790ba-55a4-11ea-ac10-fd7c67371200} displaymessageoverride Recovery recoveryenabled Yes nointegritychecks No testsigning No allowedinmemorysettings 0x15000075 osdevice partition=C: systemroot \Windows resumeobject {9f8790b8-55a4-11ea-ac10-fd7c67371200} nx OptIn bootmenupolicy Standard

If I understand what is supposed to be deactivated with the command "bcdedit /set testsigning off", testsigning is disabled.

So why do I still have the watermark at the bottom right?

How can I get rid of it?

Thank you.

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.

 

Test Mode Watermark on Windows 10

Hi Microsoft

I have tried the above and it works - however it makes my mouse cursor disappear?

FYI - I am running a purchased Windows 10 operating system on a MacBook 2015.

Many thanks,
