Remove watermark from Windows 11 Insider Preview 22581.1 (ni_release) update
- 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
- john886600Mar 29, 2022Brass ContributorNormal if you are on the DEV channel, not the BETA channel they may as well do away with the BETA channel
- Little_JoeMar 30, 2022Bronze ContributorYes, but since both Dev & Beta channel are running with Windows Insider Preview Build so technically those Build are Evaluation copy of Windows. If u feeling this should be removing u could file an issue within Feedback Hub app back to MS.
- john886600Mar 30, 2022Brass ContributorTechnically BETA builds have never had watermarks nor have they been unstable they may as well get rid of the BETA channel then and just have DEV

I did not sign up for this release. Why did they invade my computer? I only signed up for quality updates. Why did this happen suddenly? What is the reason after so many years to change the overall delivery of the quality update? It never happened for the past five years I am with preview build update? We wasted so much time trying to fix this when my Windows 11 is fully registered. I never sign up for this sudden change. I never asked for these previous updates with a watermark, it is a bad move.

Final straw on Insider. I'm opting out. Sorry Microsoft, but you aren't managing this in a way compatible with how businesses operate. I have Beta selected for my personal systems, and Dev for my lab systems. Yet you shove a questionable Beta release (with Realtek audio issues) to all my systems. Fortunately I have resisted teh urge to enable Insider on my laptop, so I still had a stable system to work from. As a remote IT professional, I kind of need some reasonable stability which is what my personal office systems were signed up for Beta, not Dev.
As I said, final straw... I like to help, but I have a business to run and you wasted hours of my time trying to fix a problem that you caused that should never have happened in the first place.- DeletedApr 03, 2022
Hello, The same version for The Dev Channel. and beta was announced and expected by many participants of the Insider Program - I understand that this is a surprise, but it is a unique event.
The next update will definitely be only for the Beta channel.

- YvesArtMar 28, 2022Copper ContributorWell you can keep them from now on. It is is not acceptable. What changed at Microsoft to come up with this decision? I don't see what the use of having an anoying billboard announcement right on the desktop. Who came up with this change?
- john886600Mar 28, 2022Brass ContributorThese builds should never have been put in the Beta channel they are far from quality builds
- YvesArtMar 28, 2022Copper ContributorI agree john886600 I did not sign upi for these release.
