My Windows 10 keeps downloading insider builds although I had left the insider program
Hi,
I'm using Windows 10 pro - 22H2 - 19045.2311
I had joined the insider program before and installed Windows 11. But I reverted back to Windows 10 (system > recovery > go back) and I left the insider program too some days ago.
But now my Windows 10 still starts downloading the preview build (windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.22621.1037 (ni_release)),
Screenshots are attached

- Thanks a lot! I will follow that post.
But one hour ago I went to the settings > updates, and now suddenly it's downloading win10 updates. He he may be its fixed automatically. strange... https://ibb.co/tX1ZXKp
Will see what's the outcome tomorrow.- The outcome wasn't good and it didn't fix automatically. It came back again after the next day.
Finally, this solved my issue "OPTION ONE - Enable or Disable Windows Insider Program Build Settings in Local Group Policy Editor"

Hi faisal95bd
" But I reverted back to Windows 10 (system > recovery > go back) and I left the insider"
Explain how you came back to Windows10 - this is important in solving your problem?
Hi Deleted
While I was on Windows 11, I went to System > Recovery. Under Recovery options, clicked Go back.

Only a clean install of Windows10 removes settings and Windows11, System Restore and leaves files, personal settings and apps still leaving Insider settings.
