If you've upgraded to Windows 8.1 on a UEFI-based PC (e.g. laptop or tablet), you're probably noticing the "SecureBoot is not properly configured" watermark message in the bottom-right corner of your screen. This message simply indicates that Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1 are booting from a trusted firmware, which basically means the operating system is better at stopping malicious software from running.

How to remove “SecureBoot is not properly configured…” watermark – Windows 8.1 in Tamil
If you see the message "SecureBoot is not configured correctly," your Windows device is most likely working fine, but it may be that SecureBoot is not configured correctly. To fix this problem, you will need to go into the computer's BIOS to enable and set up this feature. (BIOS varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, so consult your PC's manual to perform this task.)
Can anyone remove this message? Absolutely! Microsoft just released an update called KB2902864 (Update removes the "Windows 8.1 SecureBoot is not configured correctly" watermark in Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2). Just go to this Microsoft support page, download the patch for your version of Windows 8.1 (x86 or x64), double-click to start the wizard, and follow the instructions.
