How do I prevent Insider Program from re-installing Buggy Update?
I am in a similar boat as you. I do not think we can fully disable the update only postpone it for 7 days. You then have to install the update before you can make any changes to the insider program.
The only way back is a fresh install!! Back up everything first. There really should be a better downgrade path for those of us wishing to beta test Windows for Microsoft. I know it was my choice to go down this road, but since I can't simply go back to a stable build I will never be in the program again. Reinstall is not a huge deal, but I am just so busy right now Its hard justify the time it would take. I would be happy with a stay on current build until full release option!!!
If you pause you have to update, when updated I have to go back one build, then If I do not pause it right away it will just trying to install the build I just told it I had an issue with. How does that make any sense? I just want to stay on the build and get security updates.
My issue is different. It completely disables my Rat 7 mouse. A standard USB mouse works. The device shows an issue in device manager, but with this mouse being old I do not see an update in the future.
This build also seems to run horribly to me. Had a tone of little glitches.
At boot up, my startup apps take forever and when my EVGA software for my graphics card does come up the fan runs like a 747 at takeoff! Like the fan is not spinning at all until the software is up.
The mouse is the biggest issue. Anybody have an idea on how to repair this?
I will install the **bleep** update this weekend and try to repair the mouse drivers some more I guess.
I know I am harping on this, but if you just had to revert to an older build because of an issue why the hell would the insider program immediately try to install the update again upon relaunch!!! Sure pause it then when time runs out you can do nothing but install it again, rinse and repeat until March?
Please tell me I am missing something about this process.
Thanks
I also have had enough of th insider its deleting graphics software for nvidia ,,i am using an av receiver i could not get the dolby and 4k upgrading to work due to windows removing sound and software i ahd paid for that was not cheap..its the last time i listen to one of the advisors on tech support who said i would always have up to date computer and woulld benefit updates that take avoer an hour to install ...now i want to opt out and the only way is to reinstall windows again from scratch...if nit did not remove sound and graphic drivers i would not mind so much
i dont want to use microsot display settings i dont find them user friendly at all
- Hi,
the truth is these problems are all normal and expected in insider program, that's the whole point of insider program, to find problems, report them via Feedbacks to Microsoft and then they will get solved.
if you're having a problem that is too severe then you can easily fresh install Windows 10 and use the stable build without any problem.
I've been on fast ring for 1 year straight, I have AMD graphic card newly upgraded to Radeon VII, Windows update does not uninstall it after each build but even if it did i would just reinstall it quickly.
you can also use group policy to block driver installation for a certain device. let me know if you want to know more about this way.
by the way you can grab a free copy of Windows 10 stable from here:

Hi Brandon Ferguson
I am glad (!) that I am not the only one with this issue!
I started in Computers in 1969 and am now retired. I have time on my hands but frustration levels are wearing a little thin!!
I am going to try and pursue this with Microsoft but I need the communities help. I need a telephone number or email address so I can start a dialogue with 'our masters'.
What I find amusing is that if you read between the lines Microsoft is trying to integrate AI into W10 - or so the literature says... This being the case you would think that their AI engine would be a little bit more receptive to my requests.. Every time I try and 'ask a question' I tries to fob me off with a load of unrelated hogwash.
Anyway - I repeat - if anybody can point me to a number or email address I will fly the flag for those affected by this terrible release.
I can not believe that the community is so abused and not supported by Microsoft.
