What is Test Mode in Windows?

Test Mode is a special boot configuration in Windows that lets users install unsigned drivers — usually used for development or testing. When enabled, Windows shows a “Test Mode” message in the bottom-right corner of your desktop.

This fix restores default driver signature enforcement, which removes the watermark and brings Windows back to normal mode.

Steps to Disable Test Mode:

1.Open Command Prompt as Administrator

2.Type the first command and press Enter

bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS 

2. Type the second command and press Enter

bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF

3.Close the Command Prompt window

4.Restart your PC

Once your PC reboots, the Test Mode watermark should be gone.

Steps to Disable Test Mode:

1.Open Command Prompt as Administrator 

bcdedit /set testsigning on

paste this command and hit Enter Restart your PC and done
