Hello, today I noticed in the corner of my desktop this is appearing


I searched around and found solutions if it has a error code or no background but that is only what is there and I still have my background.

It is a legit version of Windows what came with the laptop when I bought less than a year ago



Is there anyway of getting rid of this due to my actual windows being a genuine license

Ironically as soon as I posted this the message went. /close pls

Had the same issue a while back. It's something to do with registry key permissions, but as said, mine disappeared shortly after too.

I'll need confirmation from op before I close this as solved.

Well, the bottom of his thread says "Ironically as soon as I posted this the message went. /close pls". So I imagine that's enough confirmation?:
