How do I remove the Evaluation Copy watermark in Windows 11?
After updating Windows 11 Insider Preview to Build 26220, the text “Evaluation Copy” appears as a watermark in the lower-right corner of the desktop, which detracts from the visual experience. I would like to understand why this watermark appears and how to safely remove it.

You'll have to revert to the stable version because this cannot be removed.
This is a built-in indicator for the Windows Insider Preview; it cannot be permanently removed. To remove it, you must revert to the stable version of Windows 11.
