Am not receiving Windows 11 beta update
If i stay in Beta till the stable release in October, i can still go back to stable without clean install and all my files safe? Also files made in Windows 11 Beta will stay or not ?
Please tell if you knoww
livelycorpse if you join in at beta level you will be able to leave. However you need to opt back out of windows insider and wait until the RTM update as when you leave the insider program you effectively freeze updates until the official version passes the beta build you were in. Then you update past your beta version to the final build.

i have already waited 1 week for the beta update and i still dont have it, my settings are optimized my gear is too, i am registered on windows insider program, i have enough space but still, cant install, also i have bios on uefi and secure boot on, can anybody help me?
- John_BloggsbyuAug 21, 2021Copper ContributorI finally received 22000.132 on bet but had too much trouble update to windows 11 from windows 10. but windows 11 has to turn on TM and secure boot to install, it is an updated requirement for windows 11, I did not turn on when install so when receive on beta channel from windows update, when pc need restart, install hang at %85 for hours, I had to turn power off, then BIOS says operation was not found, then use a windows to go usb to turn on, setup go back to %85 then hang for hours. I finally had to take a windows 11 on dev other hard drive to my main hard drive, then start setup all settings.

22000.132 installed via Beta channel!
Start to finish (with 130 existing applications on W10 in place) took about ~1-hour. Smooth upgrade. No installation issues.
Time to start kicking the tires hard! Be sure to post any bug reports, comments, or suggestions in the Feedback Hub! Those do help to get this OS ready for gold release later this fall.

SkyJohn I dont know why beta channel not received the builds as Microsoft blog said send to both dev and beta, I see the same not receive on other PCs in my household even signed into different msn account same beta channel. I received dev on a seperate hard drive no problem, but see not stable sometimes. maybe should we should wait see whats happen in coming builds.

I too am not seeing the beta version in windows update either. It shows up if I switch to Dev channel but I thought the Beta was slightly more stable..
Should we just wait??

Windows 11 build 22000.120 out for the Dev and Beta channels today, received on dev, still not received on beta. - BrianmILLERAug 04, 2021Copper Contributor
Same here . . . however, I was able to create a VM in Hyper-V on my Windows 10 Pro lab machine and have Win 11 Pro OS 22000.100 working there just fine there for ~ 10 days now (started in the Dev channel on the VM, then changed back to Beta, once installed and activated).
On the underlying Hyper-V "host" machine, it’s still a no-go within the Beta Channel. I'm also checking updates several times daily . . . but no luck thus far. Elsewhere, I've read about changing up "privacy settings" to be more permissive, but that has not made any differences that I can see. So, for now, I'm guessing that the beta channel rollouts are being gradually phased in? I'll continue to wait it out on my lab machine within the Beta channel.
If you don't want to test W11 within a VM, then just switch over to Dev Channel for the moment to get 22000.100 now. Download, install, activate 11 on your machine and then switch back to the Beta Channel soon thereafter. However, know the risks! While all systems appear to be running just fine for me, it’s still BETA software! I would not be doing this on a live production PC at this early juncture, thus a VM scenario might be a more viable option if you have the underlying hardware resources to do so.
- John_BloggsbyuAug 03, 2021Copper ContributorI have the same problem. I keep click on windows update since last week when saw the build blog, not receive any windows 11 on beta channel, receive all defender update. any fix ?
