Windows Insider DEV Channel not receiving updates

Hi. I just decided to enroll my device on windows insider just to see what all are the upcoming changes coming to windows 11 without waiting for it to release a stable release later on. Well... it went pretty well and works well too, but ever since the enrollment , I hadn't received any updates after that. I did a lot of digging and it seems like none of the answers or guides helped me out. When i checked at the insider status, a few days back, to be exact on 15th august a new update had been rolled out and my device still hasn't received the update.. Please help me out to get the latest updates on time.

current version : build 26200.5742 (Dev Channel)
latest version: build 26200.5751 (Dev Channel)

    Of course. Here's a more direct and helpful version:

    This is a super common headache in the Dev Channel. I've been there myself—the updates just stop for no reason.

    Your best bet is to run the Windows Insider Program troubleshooting tool (search for it in Settings); it's designed to fix this exact glitch and usually kicks things loose for me.

    If that fails, try pausing and then resuming updates in your Insider settings; this often forces the system to check again and find the latest build.

      I tried the above but it still ain't fixing my issue nor receiving any updates. Now i'm just gonna do a clean install of windows 11. Also the troubleshooter isn't working, it just takes me to the feedback app.
