I still recive update from the insider program after I delinked my email
I was in the insider program for a while, but I got bored of the many updates and left the pragram, but somehow I still recive the updates no matter what.
I just spoke to a suppart agent, he told me to reinstall windows, but I have so much information on my C drive, he didn't knew if a big windows update would fix it or not.
Have anyone encountered this or a simular problem, and is there a fix for it?

Completely Unenroll from Insider Program
- Open Settings (Win + I) → Windows Update → Windows Insider Program.
- If the option is available, select "Stop getting preview builds" and choose "Unenroll this device immediately" (if on a compatible build).
- If you don’t see this option, your build is too far ahead of the stable release, and you'll need to reinstall Windows.
If all else fails and you keep receiving Insider updates, a clean reinstall can ensure a fresh start. Backup your data before reinstalling. You can perform a repair install (in-place upgrade) that keeps your files and apps, which is less disruptive than a full wipe.
Go to Settings → Windows Update → Windows Insider Program and click Stop getting preview versions, then run the following command to clear any remaining configurations:
reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost/f
