I have an inactive copy of windows- due to a dodgy key, but if I restart my pc immediately after booting it up, the watermark in the bottom right, doesn’t appear. I’m not complaining, but is there any reason why this happens? I’ve got an 100% success rate with this so it’s not just luck.

Need to activate windows for it to go. Like you mentioned, you got a non-working key that's why it's there.

I mean, a reason restarting my pc causes the watermark to disappear. I know why it’s there.
