One issue that bothers people is the Evaluation Copy watermark that sits in the lower right-hand corner of the desktop.

This watermark looks like this.

To remove the watermark from Windows Insider we are just going to run a simple app and agree to the file changes. The process here actually takes less than 30 seconds, but we’ll walk you through the procedure. Note to complete the process you do need to log off and back on the system, so make sure you save any work before you begin.

You can open it natively in Windows and (a) run the .exe file directly or (b) extract and run the app.

 

 

Inside the .zip is a 610 KB file called uwd.exe. You can double-click to run the file and you are presented with a warning screen to a User access Control warning screen. If you agree, hit Yes.

Assuming your status is green and stating Ready for Installation just hit the Install button. You should see a warning affirming You are going to install on the untested build. Continue? Hit Yes.

The application kills explorer.exe process during the procedure. You will experience this as a “crashing” of part of the OS including the start and Taskbar disappearing. Do not worry as this is normal. The application notes You will be signed out automatically. Save all your work and click OK at which point it is advised to hit OK. Now type your password and login your account. That is all there is to do. Once you log back on you should notice that the watermark is now removed, leaving you a pristine desktop. Here you can see currently I’m using a version of Windows 10 Insider Program

Thank you…
