Cannot install Insider Preview 18305
Troubleshooting upgrade errors from one Insider version to the next always involves detailed troubleshooting. In your case I would say the download of the version is just fine, its in the upgrade process that you issue lies. I have blogged https://www.onthewinside.com/blog/how-to-troubleshoot-a-bad-upgrade-part-2-lets-dig-deeper about ways to look into this. It involves some digging that some are not comfortable with doing. If you are adventurous, consider going down this route. In my blog post my issue was a problem with a new version of Dot Net and IIS. I suspect your version has to do with the windows store. First thing first is to get some more information about your error
Check out my blog post or run the Microsoft utility SetupDiag https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/upgrade/setupdiag to find some more information. Post what you get along with some details, does this machine have a lot of windows features enabled or extra software installed?
**bleep** luck and let us know if you can get some details on your error

Well, NOTHING I do will fix the problem I have of downloading the 18305 insider preview. I have NO options in settings of changing or opting out of the insider preview builds. I tried the script, and it didn't work, it runs all the way through, but nothing is found when it looks for updates. The ONLY thing it finds, are the updates for the Antivirus (which is the standard one that comes with Windows 10). Is there any way of forcing the update to download, or forcing the insider preview to reset itself, so it looks like I'm no longer wanting them, and then I can start from scratch? I have tried re-registering my e-mail, but it's always the same result. The registry keys are set to skip ahead, etc etc, so I'm at a total loss as to why it's NOT downloading, or even being found when I run the 'check fore updates' in settings. I'm on a Home PC, and all other updates come down fine. Wish there was an ISO file of this build available to download, and install that way.
