I still recive update from the insider program after I delinked my email
I was in the insider program for a while, but I got bored of the many updates and left the pragram, but somehow I still recive the updates no matter what. I just spoke to a suppart agent, he told me to reinstall windows, but I have so much information on my C drive, he didn't knew if a big windows update would fix it or not. Have anyone encountered this or a simular problem, and is there a fix for it?
Windows 11 22533 breaks taskbar positioning.
It seems that the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3 resets every time explorer.exe starts. For instance, if I change the position of the Taskbar (00 -> 03), then save, and then reboot explorer, the registry resets, and the taskbar remains in the bottom of the screen. Please attend to this.WSL Issue "The system cannot find the file specified"

Black Screen
I received some kind of system updates last evening On both my laptop running Home and desktop running Pro. Both were left to install with the laptop set to turn off upon completion. This morning I started the laptop which was a normal process through the fingerprint sign into Windows, which resulted in a black screen and my cursor. Alt Ctrl Del brought up the Task Manager. With use of the cursori could select applcations that were running and stop them, or change users, which took me back to the Windows sign in screen. With TM open I got three icons at the bottom right of the screen (wifi, change user, and power), all functional Signing in repeats te above Black Screen: Going to the Desktop, which had rebooted after install, and was awaiting sign in, I typed in my Windows pass code and every thing was a repeat of what happened on the laptop. is this a bug in the update, and is it being worked on? How do I get the use of my computers back?
windows insider preview 10.0.26200.5518 won't install via Windows Update
Good day, I am helping my friend with her laptop and the above update fails after taking around 12 hours to install via Windows Update. I raised this with Microsoft support and they referred us here. The laptop was originally running Windows 10 home at the time of purchase. A) is there any way of getting a standalone version of the above or any other way to install it - I've ran DISM Restore Health and SFC but this has not made a difference. Ive cleared out the SoftwareDistribution directory and attempted to run the Windows Update troubleshooter but it was unable to run. If we were to attempt to revert to a standard copy of Windows, should we be doing an in place reinstall of Windows 10 home or Windows 11? Thanks.Leaving Windows Dev Channel
Please tell me someone knows a way to leave the Dev channel without wiping all the data off their hard drive. These updates have been repeatedly wrecking my PC's functionality and I've had enough, but unfortunately I seem to be stuck here until I'm willing to throw all my data away. I have 3tb of storage and there's no way I can back it all up without a serious financial investment.Win 11 using highest resolution makes screens unuseable
I bought a new comouter to tun windows 11. Nothing special compared to my old win 10 which had lots of drives and two 24 inch screens. Its a Lenovo 15 inch laptop. When it arrived it was running windows 10 and worked perfectly. Then it updated to windows 11. It did warn me that the OS was not yet a releaseable version but I carried on regardless. That was late November 2022. Now its March 2023 and it has taken me all that time to get not a lot working on windows 11 despite lots of updates.. It installed at the maximum resolution that my laptop is capable of. Which means that the text size is about 2 point and completely unuseable on a 15 inch screen.. After a while I threw the computer on the desl and used my Linux machine instead. Recently I decided there must be somethiong wrong with the machine and wrote to Lenovo UK. They had had thousands of questions on the topic.. They advised me to set my reolution down to around 1300 instaed of the 1900 it could manage.. This assisted greatly but still did not solve the problem completely. Many updates later there seems to have been a change, but most programs did not run in windows11 - including my bank software. Even now the most used keys on this machine arr Ctrl+ and Ctrl-. Did not the host of windows insider geeks not test this basic function? As a programmmer for many large companies since 1985 I have written in many languages from Linux, Machine code, HTML turbo and normal pascal. to name a few. It suprises me that a team of thousands of windows testers have not checked out that the program will work on all types of computers. Or that it will select a resolution that is unuseable on a well known make of lap top. Should have been tested by lots of little old ladies using lap tops. I always used my wife who cannot even send an email on her phone to test my work. If she could use it then it was right. Microsoft should take note. So please get the thing to warn people when they have installed it to try it in various resolutions before thinking of junking their new machines. Some people dont have perfect eysight but even folk that have, cannot use a 2 point text size for anything.
