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
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.

- Little_JoeMar 30, 2022Bronze ContributorHello, I'm just a Windows Insider member here to help.... the OS build does not contain your personal info at all it just to prove which exactly version of Windows OS running on your device so we can help u to figure out your issue here. However if u have concern on this u could just reporting this issue back to MS with Feedback Hub app.
