Cancel the Windows 11 Insider Preview update

Hi everyone,

I just spotted that I've got a Win 11 insider preview update with the Pending restart status in my updates which I really don't want.
I've opted out of the Insider Program(only needed it for WSL2 anyway) but is there anyway to cancel the pending update and not just pause it for 7 days?

Thanks.

    I'm not even in the Insider program and I'm getting prompted to install 22000.100
    And when I rollback the first thing it does is download it again. Very annoying.

      Hello.

      Since this is a big error of the Update service, if it provides a Windows11 update for devices that are not enrolled in the Insider Program - it would really be helpful to report it to the Feedback Center for Windows in the Windows Updates tab!

      I wonder how this is possible?

    You need to unregister,

    If you need an ISO for a clean install, please write.
