Evaluation copy watermark after update (Build 22581.ini_release.220318- 1623)

I noticed that after I've updated Windows to Build 22581.ini_release .220318- 1623, a watermark appeared on the desktop (Windows 11 Home Single Language. Evaluation copy. Build 22581.ini_release.220318- 1623). My question is can I remove this watermark or will it get removed in the next update. I know for a fact that Windows is activated and I've never gotten this before from the other updates.

Note: I'm on the Windows Insider Program (Beta)

Thank you.

Hi Ayanda,
I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.

Insider Builds always have a watermark. This is by design and does not affect activation in any way.

The watermark was always there in Windows 10 Beta Builds. It was not there in Windows 11 Builds because it was essentially the same as stable channel 22000.

Rest assured no action is required from your end.
