How to hide the desktop watermark in the Windows 11 Preview?
The preview version watermark keeps displaying at the bottom right corner of the desktop, and I'd like to hide it. What methods are available?

The watermark indicating that you're running a Windows Insider Preview version typically appears on the bottom right corner of the desktop. Hiding or removing this watermark can be challenging because it's embedded into the OS to indicate the preview status.
Removing the Insider Preview watermark may violate Microsoft's terms of use for Insider builds.
It can also make your system less transparent regarding its development status.
Always back up your data before attempting advanced modifications.
The most straightforward and legitimate way is to purchase a license or activate the full version of the software. This will remove the watermark officially.
i have the same issue even after leaving the insider program
xD - Simply leaving the “Insider Programme” won't be possible without a complete reinstallation of Windows 11! So the logo will remain!
