How to move from Dev Channel down to Release Preview?
Signed up for Windows Insider and swear I wasn't asked what channel. Didn't notice much of a change for about a week or so then there was a huge update from 24H2 to 25H2. I had a green screen of death (only once since) and thought oops, bad decision. When I found the Insider settings I can't downgrade from Dev to Release Preview because there is no RP version number greater than what I'm on. There's no way in hell I'm going to do a complete reinstall - that would be a huge time suck.
So I paused updates and keep monitoring the Insider channel options. However I was thinking, isn't Dev pretty much always going to be on the same version or newer version than Release Preview - if so, there's no non-destructive way to downgrade the channel!? Or if I wait long enough will I eventually get the opportunity? Do I just need to keep pausing updates every week until the option isn't greyed out anymore?
