    I guess the only option is to clean install, wish me luck.
  • As I can see in screenshot, you're on Dev channel, hence clean install is only option to stop getting preview builds and you can then install stable version i.e. Windows 11 23H2.

    Open Settings in Windows.
    Go to the "Update & Security" section.
    Select Windows Insider Program.
    Click on the "Stop getting preview builds" button.
    Removing the registry key: If you are still getting preview builds after disabling the Windows Insider program, you can try removing the registry key that is responsible for it. Be sure to back up your registry before doing this.

    Sorry, But currently there's no other way available to stop getting insider previews rather than clean reinstall to stable versions. Glad to help you filrea
