Fenêtres installées 11 avec TPM désactivé? Attendez-vous à un filigrane laid sur le bureau

Utilisateurs de Windows 11 sur “matériel non pris en charge” signalent que depuis le dernier Patch Tuesday (mensuel) Mise à jour cumulative, an ugly watermark message began appearing on the Windows Desktop screen for the Windows 11 22H2 Update operating system. The bottom-right corner has a permanently-overlaid message that reads “System requirements not met. Go to Settings to learn more.” This is visually similar to the watermark you get when you haven’t activated Windows with a valid license.

Windows Setup is designed to prevent the installation of Windows 11 on machines that don’t meet its minimum system requirements, notamment, the need for a hardware Trusted Platform Module (MTP). There are ways to circumvent this hardware requirements check during setup. The latest Patch Tuesday update apparently takes a quick check on whether Windows 11 is installed on a machine that actually meets its requirements as laid by Microsoft; et sinon, places the watermark message on Windows Desktop. It’s important to note here, that unlike the “Activate Windows” watermark, this “System requirements not met” watermark does not impact the functionality of Windows 11, and you probably won’t wake up one day to find that your machine won’t boot. It seems more like a means to get people to fix their hardware requirements using an eyesore.
