Remove activate windows watermark windows 10

If you are using a non-activated version of Windows, there’s a high chance that you have seen the “Activate Windows 10 – Go to settings to activate Windows” watermark on your desktop. If you have got the product key from Microsoft Store or a retailer, you can use it to activate your WIndows 10 and that will remove the watermark.

If you don’t have the Product Key and it’s bothering you, you need not worry. Here are some tweaks which will help you hide or remove the Activate Windows watermark permanently.

Why do you get Activate Windows Watermark?

The reason why “Activate Windows” watermark appears is because your system doesn’t have an activated Windows installed. The other reason can be the expiration of your installed Windows product key. Having an activated Windows lets you access several features of Windows 10 like Windows Defender, Microsoft Office Installation, Security updates, personalization features, and more.

The best and easiest way to remove this watermark is to purchase a product key from any online retailer like Microsoft. Entering the product key will remove the Activate Windows watermark, and will let you access all the Windows 10 features.

If you don’t want to purchase any product key and want to get rid of the Activate Windows watermark, then here are few tweaks to remove Actiavte Windows watermark.

Доброго здравия, друзья!

Windows показывает водяной знак «Активировать Windows» в правом нижнем углу не активированного компьютера с Windows.

Если вы используете не активированную Windows 10, скорее всего, вы видели водяной знак «Активировать Windows 10 — перейдите в настройки, чтобы активировать Windows».

Если этот водяной знак вас беспокоит, мы расскажем, как удалить водяной знак активации Windows 10 навсегда.

Причины появления водяного знака активации Windows

Прежде чем перейти к тому, как удалить водяной знак активации Windows, вы должны знать, по каким причинам он появляется на вашем экране.

Есть разные причины для его появления, одна из самых распространенных — когда Windows не активирована/срок действия истек.

Помимо этого, вот еще причины, почему:

• Недействительная лицензия Windows — вы можете ввести ключ, полученный из онлайн-источников, и он просто не работает, потому что его использовали другие. Microsoft использует технологию онлайн-активации для блокировки других пользователей, использующих тот же ключ продукта.
• Несравнимая версия Windows — если вы приобрели ключ для Windows 10 Professional Edition а установили Windows 10 Home Edition на свой компьютер. Хотя ключ действителен на 100%, водяной знак по-прежнему виден из-за несравнимого варианта Windows 10.

Активация Windows также включает некоторые дополнительные функции, которыми вы не сможете воспользоваться, если не активировали Windows на своем компьютере.

Активируя Windows, вы получите обновления Windows, функции безопасности, Защитника Windows и многое другое.

Итак, если у вас есть деньги, вы мгновенно получите ключ с любого авторизованного сайта или даже от Microsoft.

Вы можете активировать Windows с его помощью и вернуться к своим обычным делам.

Однако, если у вас нет ключа, но вы все равно хотите избавиться от этой проблемы.

Прежде чем я расскажу вам о способах убрать водяной знак, хотел бы дать вам совет и помочь!
Если у вас не получится самостоятельно убрать водяной знак, по инструкции и методам в этой статье или Вы просто не хотите тратить время, обратитесь ко мне за услугой «Уберу водяной знак активации Windows». 10-20 минут и я решу Вашу проблему!

What Is the “Activate Windows” Watermark?

Microsoft, just like any other company, doesn’t like it when its hard work gets pirated, exploited, and re-distributed for free. In an attempt to stop the piracy of their newest operating system, Windows 10, they came up with the idea of placing a watermark in the corner until the user legally activates Windows.

This might not seem like a huge issue, as the watermark doesn’t really get in your way. Instead, it sits on top of every window, app, and even your cursor.

While it’s not a ground-breaking method of stopping piracy, it was enough to drive you here and look up how you can get rid of it. Don’t worry — other than telling you the obvious solution, we’ve compiled some methods to help those who don’t want to spend money to remove the watermark.

It’s worth noting that most of these methods simply remove the “Activate Windows» watermark, and don’t actually activate your system. You still won’t be able to lift limitations such as not being able to customize your PC at all.

With that clarified, let’s get to work and remove the “Activate Windows” watermark on your Windows 10 system.

How To Remove the “Activate Windows” Watermark Permanently

Let’s take a look at how you can get rid of the pesky watermark in the corner of your screen in a few easy steps!

Do the Notepad Trick

One of the easiest and most recognized ways of removing the pesky little watermark in the corner of your screen is doing a simple trick with the pre-installed Notepad app. Yes, the Notepad app you use on a daily.

By pasting some text and using an administrator account, you can easily remove the “Activate Windows” watermark from appearing on your screen. Here’s how to do it.

1. Launch the Notepad application and create a new, blank note.
2. Copy and paste the following block of text into your Notepad
   @echo off
   taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
   explorer.exe
   exit
   
   
3. Go to File, then click on Save as. Name the file Activation.bat and change the file format to All files.
   
4. Choose the location where the file becomes easily reachable, and click the Save button. We recommend saving files like this on your Desktop to maximize accessibility.
5. Right-click on the file and choose Run as administrator. If you don’t have this option, you’re not signed into an account with admin permissions.
   
6. Restart your device and enjoy life without watermarks!
