As I am one of those referred to below, and this issue started when I became an "insiders' subscriber, its reasonable that I share the following from a friend who is computer savvy : "
I know that MS intended the Insiders program to be for people that were computer savvy to assist in testing of preview updates (as this was) and provide feedback. Most of the people that are members are either not the least bit computer savvy or totally incapable of providing considered feedback. Hopefully you’re not going to get any more of these updates, but if you see anything that is ‘Preview’ or ‘Beta’ show up, I’d strongly suggest you uninstall it."
- chriscombeApr 17, 2021Copper ContributorI have no issue beta testing SW myself, I just get annoyed when an update doesn't install.
The rest of the roller coaster ride is fun for me personally despite the constraints it puts on you.
I do agree that it has become too easy for people to become insiders thinking of it more as a way to get new stuff faster rather than you being an experimental beta tester to help MS with their broader stability.
