I recently ran a command in Notepad to delete the Activate Windows watermark because I was struggling financially. Since then, my monitors have started shutting down randomly every few hours, and they only come back on after restarting the PC. At times, the watermark appears before the screen turns off completely. My main thought is that this command caused the issue. The command I used was: `taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe`.

Killing explorer.exe essentially shuts down your file manager and interface. This isn’t the right method for removing the watermark. I can’t guide you through that process, but there are alternative options available. Honestly, you might want to obtain a Windows 10 key—they’re affordable and easy to get.

There's a way to activate windows without buying or use those commands, it's not legal so I can't really spell it out on how or where you could get it, but it also involves scripts. And you could find it on a site that is famous for hosting open source scripts.

I wasn’t going to explain everything, so I only gave some suggestions. Still, since you mentioned it, I’ll confirm—this tool has worked smoothly since Windows 10 was released.

ahh alright! I don't really see the point of it though. The keys are not really expensive.

It varies by location and payment options. Being budget-friendly means I’m willing to spend only what’s necessary. Exceptions apply when something truly worth my money exists, such as high-quality games. Microsoft makes money by gathering data and using it for personalized ads—why buy their operating system when alternatives exist?
