Go to solution Solved by XTankSlayerX,

So, I installed Windows 10 awhile back on my custom build, and i just skipped the activation step during install, as i did not buy a product key for it, and for awhile this little water mark at the bottom right of my screen is there saying activate windows. I just kinda accepted that it was there, but after 6 months is really starting to annoy me, It even comes up over the game I'm playing. Really annoying to have something telling you to activate windows while your playing competitive csgo. Wondered if there is any Janky ass way to remove that by writing code or messing with system files. Thanks!      attachicon.gif78da2275c38330d13f151178a957d259.jpg

Well, firstly buying/activating Windows 10 would help. This is really the only way you should be doing it.

 

 

You can get a CD key for it relatively inexpensive from here:
