A Reddit screenshot of a post on r/WindowsHelp titled "SIze of the "Activate Windows" watermark"

The post reads: Hi, I was using Windows the other day, when i noticed this "Activate Windows" watermark in the bottom right corner of my screen. I was wondering, is there any way to make this watermark larger? I explicity do not want the watermark to go away, I want it to be much larger.

Aivan hirveä. Perheemme kahdessa Windows 11 koneessa molemmissa on tämä ongelma joka on aivan raivostuttavaa. En ole hirveä linux-desktopin fani, mutta ei tässä paljon vaihtoehtoja ole eritoten sen jälkeen kun Win10 tuki loppuu.

If you are using Firefox & the slow-loading "Ask an AI chatbot" menu item keeps making you click "open on new window" rather than "open in new tab" it fortunately seems easy to disable (hover over the menu item & click "remove AI chatbot"): www.reddit.com/r/WindowsHel...

In the past there have been various ways to setup without creating an online account, which has generally allowed bypassing needing a network. However, historically MS have closed these workarounds to prevent them. Maybe one of these still works, though:

Also ja. Wenn du einen Admin an der Hand hast, kann das per Powershell Skript umgangen werden:

There’s a way to disable it entirely. I haven’t had it reappear since.

--you can get it fixed. if Windows DID break your computer, you might be able to wrestle a new one out of them though. A LOT of people have been complaining/broken stuff.
