leave the insider program after reinstalling W11
Hi,DVargas1730
"I reinstalled windows 11 last night. But somehow I am still getting the preview downloads and continue to be unable to leave the program."
Please explain what steps you have taken?
What build do you have now?
Without this information, I can not answer anything.

Only performing a clean installation of the stable version of Win11, will remove the settings and instances of the insider update, if you do not log in to insider again with this computer - you will only receive public updates.

- DVargas1730May 07, 2023Copper ContributorI do not wish to have any Dev or insiders previews. As pointed out I already done a clean reinstall. I've also done the removal of the email account but still getting it!!!
A bit much if i also have to create a media install tool for something that take a couple of clicks to get into. I feel hostage to MS and its wonderful Windows software

But this is the latest version of Dev. so you only reinstalled the Insider version
