Solution: This is a rare bug. You have removed the "Windows is not genuine" text, but the black background remains.

Let’s be perfectly clear: My WCP Watermark Editor does not activate Windows. It is a cosmetic tweak.

Recommendation: If you like Windows 11, buy a license ($20-40 on key sites). But if you are stuck on a test build or an old 8.1 machine, this tool is a functional band-aid.

Removing watermarks does not violate the license itself, but using unauthorized patchers to bypass activation is a violation. Even if you have a legit license, modifying system files is against Microsoft’s EULA (section on “reverse engineering or modifying Windows”).

🔧 Pro tip: Combine custom text with a faint opacity (33) for a professional "confidential" label that doesn't block icons.
