Иногда пользователи предпочитают работать в Windows 10 без активации и это вполне возможно (об этом в отдельном материале: Можно ли пользоваться Windows 10 без активации, как долго и с какими ограничениями), но через какое-то время в правом нижнем углу экрана появится надпись «Активация Windows» с пояснением: Чтобы активировать Windows, перейдите в раздел Параметры, предполагающим, что вы перейдете в Параметры — Обновления и безопасность — Активация и введете ключ продукта. Однако, убрать надпись с экрана можно и без этого.
В этой инструкции подробно о том, как навсегда убрать надпись Активация Windows на экране Windows 10 несколькими способами — вручную и с помощью сторонних программ, а также дополнительная информация, которая может оказаться полезной.
Убираем надпись «Активация Windows» с помощью редактора реестра
Первый способ — использовать редактор реестра для отключения показа надписи об активации Windows 10. Если вы уже пробовали этот метод, но параметры возвращались в исходное состояние, решение для этого также будет предложено в этом разделе.
Шаги будут следующими:
- Запустите редактор реестра: нажмите клавиши Win+R (Win — клавиша с эмблемой Windows), введите regedit и нажмите Enter.
- Перейдите к разделу реестра
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Activation
- Обратите внимание на параметр Manual в правой части окна редактора. Дважды нажмите по нему и задайте значение 1.
- Проделайте то же самое для параметра NotificationDisabled
- После перезагрузки надпись исчезнет, но не торопитесь перезагружать: через некоторое время система может убрать ваши изменения. Чтобы этого не произошло, нажмите правой кнопкой мыши по разделу (папке) Activation слева и выберите пункт «Разрешения».
- Выбрав пункты «Система» и «TrustedInstaller» отметьте для них «Запретить» в списке разрешений и нажмите кнопку «Применить».
- Нажмите кнопку «Дополнительно», а на следующем экране нажмите «Отключить наследования», подтвердите, а затем удалите пункты TrustedInstaller и Система, для которых в «Тип» указано «Разрешить».
- Примените сделанные настройки и перезагрузите Windows
Также можно использовать следующий код, чтобы создать reg файл и внести изменения в реестр. В коде больше параметров, чем в шагах, описанных выше:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Activation] "ActivationInterval"=dword:000dbba0 "Manual"=dword:00000001 "NotificationDisabled"=dword:00000001 "DownlevelActivation"=dword:00000002
Еще один метод в дополнение к вышеописанному — отключение службы «Быстрая проверка». Сделать это можно в services.msc (установить тип запуска службы в «Отключена», применить и перезагрузить компьютер), либо в редакторе реестра: в разделе реестра HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\svsvc следует изменить параметр Start на 4, а затем перезагрузить компьютер.
Программа Universal Watermark Disabler
Еще один способ убрать надпись «Активация Windows» в углу экрана — использовать простую бесплатную утилиту Universal Watermark Disabler, скачать которую можно с официального сайта https://winaero.com/download.php?view.1794. После загрузки утилиты, распакуйте архив и запустите файл uwd.exe
Нажмите кнопку «Install» (может потребоваться подтверждение установки в неподдерживаемой сборке, обычно всё работает), а после этого нажмите «Ок» для выхода из системы.
После автоматического выхода из системы и последующего входа надпись не всегда пропадает, но, если после этого выполнить перезагрузку компьютера или ноутбука — обычно исчезает (но, по моим тестам, не всегда).

Надеюсь, один из предложенных способов оказался работоспособным для вашей ситуации и надпись об активации в углу рабочего стола вас больше не побеспокоит.
