Leaving Windows Dev Channel
Please tell me someone knows a way to leave the Dev channel without wiping all the data off their hard drive. These updates have been repeatedly wrecking my PC's functionality and I've had enough...
If the stable (Release Preview) channel has a build number equal to or higher than your current Dev build, you can switch without a clean install:
Go to Settings > Windows Update > Windows Insider Program.
Select Release Preview Channel (or "Stop getting preview builds" if stable is higher).
Check for updates—you may receive an update that aligns you with the stable version.
