Remove watermark from Windows 11 Insider Preview 22581.1 (ni_release) update
After installing Windows 11 Insider Preview 22581.1 (ni_release) update, a watermark is appearing on the desktop. How do I get rid of it? This is actually very annoying!!
- Mar 27, 2022It never has in previous builds from the Beta channel if you have a legitimate copy there should be no watermark DEV channel in development if the update has these issues also freezing of the taskbar icons it should never have been released to the BETA channel it's obviously a DEV version

It's an evaluation (timebomed) build with expiration date
why do you expect the watermark not to appear?

- john886600Mar 29, 2022Brass ContributorBecause it was a DEV build released to the BETA channel therefore there shouldn't be any watermarks many people are leaving the program less feed back to MS
- YvesArtMar 28, 2022Copper ContributorWhy did you put them in the automatic download then? Did you become in charge and decided to make this decision? All I can say is I am now a very desapointed customer and want this change to desapear.
- john886600Mar 27, 2022Brass ContributorIt's a DEV update that was made available to the BETA channel Whats the point of having the 2 channels
- abbodi1406Mar 27, 2022Iron ContributorThe build being in BETA channel doesn't change its expiration/evaluation status
of course you can discuss Microsoft choice to push it to BETA channel
but removing the watermark will not make it a final non-expirable build- YvesArtMar 28, 2022Copper ContributorIt would for sure make more appealing to return to preview build, if they were just like before with no watermark right smak in the face..

abbodi1406 I personally feel it would have been nice, if instead, it would have been the usual box that each user can have the freedom to close or not, instead of a permanent disruptive watermark.
- Windows11NeedsFixesApr 15, 2022Copper ContributorI'm personally shocked this watermark is still present. I don't understand why Microsoft has so many issues executing basic things.
