About this tag
The desktop watermark tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about persistent on-screen notifications in Windows, particularly the 'System requirements not met' watermark introduced in Windows 11. Threads explore how Microsoft uses this watermark to alert users when hardware fails to meet minimum requirements, such as TPM 2.0 or supported processors. Administrators can suppress the watermark via Group Policy or MDM tools, as seen with KB5017130. The tag also includes references to watermarks appearing on pre-release Insider builds, where Microsoft clarifies that such watermarks are normal for testing versions and do not affect licensing. Additionally, older content touches on genuine Windows licensing and upgrade offers, though the watermark itself remains the central theme.
