That popup appears because you’re running an expired Windows Insider Preview build. Once a build reaches its expiration date, Windows will keep reminding you every hour.
You have only two real options:
Option 1 (Recommended): Update to a newer build
Go to Settings → Windows Update and install the latest available Insider build.
This immediately stops the popup.
Option 2: Leave the Insider Program
If you don’t want Insider builds:
- Go to Settings → Windows Update → Windows Insider Program
- Choose Stop getting preview builds
- Then upgrade to a stable public release (clean install may be required)
Important:
There is no supported way to permanently disable this warning without upgrading. It’s a built-in expiration safeguard.
Summary:
The hourly popup means your Insider build has expired. Updating to a newer build or switching back to a stable Windows release is the only fix.
