opted out of WIP, but still, I am stuck
After the recent Windows Insider program update, we can now leave the WIP, even if we were previously on the developer build, without doing a clean reinstall. I did not have time and energy to do a complete clean reinstall of Windows to go back from developer build to the normal Windows version as I I got my PC recently and I did not know about these thing so I accidentally signed up in WIP Without doing research that we cannot go back from the developer build without doing a clean reinstall but thankfully, they gave the option recently.
I went to the Windows Update section> Windows Insider Programs section in the Updates section and clicked on the rollout button, and there was a link to leave the insider program, which I also did, and on that website, now it says that I am no longer a WIP user. After I also got an update, which was not a preview build like I was getting before, but Windows 11, version 25H2, so I installed it, and I have read it was in place to upgrade an IPU, and all my data should be migrated safely. Although I did not check everything, from what I have used PC after Opting out and updating, mostly everything is in place as it was.
The problem is that now when I go to the update section. Then, in the Windows Insider program section, I see a reinstall button where it says that it will go back to the preview build if I click on it, but if we are outside of the Insider build like I was before, when I even tried signing up for this it did not show us restart button when i was on the normal Windows 11 when I bought the pc. The normal Windows update after opting out should not show a restart button in the Windows Insider Program settings.
Also, when I try to check for an update, it still shows me the Preview build I was getting before, which shouldn't happen.
Why am I not getting a normal update, and instead, the preview build, AND in the Windows Insider section (Windows Update menu), I am still seeing that it says to restart to get back to the Windows Insider program, which should not be supposed to happen.
HELP, THIS IS FRUSTRATING.
