    The Windows Insider Preview is a beta version of Windows, and switching back to the stable release involves downgrading or rolling back to the official Windows 11 Home version.

  • Switching from Insider preview build to stable version depends upon your current Windows Insider channel.

    If you're on Beta or Release Preview, you can enable option Unenroll this device when the next version of Windows releases option. This will automatically switch your device to stable version when next update is released.

    If you want to switch immediately, you need to make clean install, irrespective your WI channel.
