Disabling "Activate Windows" watermark made simple, the code in this repository is a PoC, and has not been tested above Windows 10 1803.

How does this work?

The function responsible for drawing whole desktop including the watermark is xxxDesktopPaintCallback located in win32kfull.sys. Both of the approaches used by this project were found while analyzing functions further down in the callstack.
