The "Activate Windows" watermark is displayed on the desktop of a Windows 11 system when the operating system has not been activated. The watermark is intended to remind users to purchase a valid license for the operating system. However, it can be annoying for some users who have purchased a valid license but are having trouble activating it.
Here are a few steps you can try to remove the watermark:
Try activating Windows again: Make sure you are connected to the internet and then click on the "Activate Windows" watermark. You'll be prompted to enter a product key. If you have a valid key, enter it and follow the instructions to activate Windows.
Use the Command Prompt: Open Command Prompt as administrator and enter the following command: "slmgr /ato" and press Enter. This command will try to activate Windows automatically.
Contact Microsoft Support: If you are unable to activate Windows using the steps above, contact Microsoft Support for assistance. They will be able to troubleshoot the issue and help you activate Windows.
Using third-party software: some software allow you to remove activation watermark but it's not recommended by me as it may harm your computer and also it may violate the license agreement.
If you have a valid license for Windows 11 and you're still seeing the watermark, it may be caused by a software or hardware change. In this case, contact Microsoft support, they will be able to assist you further.
It's important to remind that, Using unlicensed version of any software is illegal and unethical, even if you just want to test the software or use it temporarily. It's also worth noting that using unlicensed version of Windows can lead to security risks and it may not receive any security updates from Microsoft.
