Why is "Some settings are managed by your organization" appearing on my Insider Build ?

The Insider build is installed on a personal system and not a Corporate one. Is it there because it is an Insider build ? How to remove it?

    Enrolling in Insider Preview does mandate telemetry and Windows Update settings. You can leave the Insider Preview program (with each new release) to regain control over those settings.

    Hi R, 

     

    Thanks for this next question. Some settings are enforced in Insider builds, you can't opt-out of full diagnostics and it's mandatory to get Updates/Upgrade from Windows Update. This is required for Windows engineers to troubleshoot findings or get a better understanding of feedback given via the feedback hub. If you would leave the insider program - and we don't want you to do that :) - you would see the "Some settings are managed by your organization" would disappear. 

     

    Kind regards,

    Pieter

      As a result this removes some adminstrative control. Noticed I had some issues when Troubleshooter reported BITS was turned off or had to be reset. Went through process but some parts seemed not to work as if there was a restriction.
