Solved

I would like to change my Canary version of windows back to the dev level

I have been having issues with some programs that i use after i put my insider program to the canary build, if there was a process that i could go through to rollback, that would be wonderful

In this Blog there is an official explanation - to downgrade Canary you need to do a clean install of Windows:

For Insiders who are automatically moved to the Canary Channel but want to be in the Dev Channel instead, they will need to do a clean installation of Windows 11 to make the switch.
