just go through this site and you will find the solution for this windows 11 update sh*t.
I just downloaded some registry files and installed it.
Boom!!!!! my update issue solved.
I have followed every advice I can find, yet I am still in the same boat as those who have come here to resolve a big issue. Being an Insider member, Win10Pro system update notified my PC (Intel Z170 Mobo + i7-6900K CPU) that Win11 insider version will be installed on next reboot. I had already gone and checked my system to ensure my hardware was compatible w/Win11. A day AFTER/UPON installation of the Insider Win11, the system told me that my hardware became non-qualified (non-compatible) w/Win11. This is the first time (since days of Win3.x) that I reverted my system back to a previous version because of all sorts of issues I have w/new Win11.
Now, I am being told that the only way to stop the nagging Win11 Install threat is to do a Fresh new Installation of Windows 10 or spend another $1500+ USD to make my hardware compatible w/Win11/
Hey Dufus: Why do you think we have always stock with WinOS? Because Microsoft used to respect legacy hardware. Now youa re telling my Skylake desktop is NFG? I think this is the moment I can assuredly say that Microsoft has become NFG (or the tail that wags the dog).
While I was trying to opt-out of Insider, Microsoft wanted to ask my experience. I went thru the questionnaire to the end and submitted it. This was the response I received:
Your request failed. Please e-mail The Microsoft Tech Community and provide the date and time you received the error and this Exception ID: 7CC187C8. Please also provide a summary of the steps you took which led to this error message"

Once again I want to thank you and I really understand your frustration!
But there are other examples: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-insider-program/windows-11-insider-preview-10-0-22000-100-low-spec-laptop/m-p/2639582 It is not predictable, but stopping automatic update can only occur after a clean installation of Windows10- 4malDAug 12, 2021Copper ContributorA few other sites have this ongoing topic (e.g. tomshardwareDOTcom/how-to/uninstall-windows-11) that I am currently negotiating thru. Along with some old-skool techniques.
*I also periodically (at least every 6months) use Acronis True Image for these express situations when sum dufus 'recommends' a "CLEAN INSTALL", as if that task was but a mere 8 hours to reconstruct.
If I am lucky to rid Win10 of Win11 pending update (although I have previously "opted out", then "left the Program" and then, I "Unenrolled my device"), I will post my results upon crossed-fingers and a reboot. Otherwise, it could only mean that my June2021 Acronis image build has been my savior once again, no thanx to microsoft/windows team.- Noble_RajeySep 15, 2021Copper ContributorI have the best solution
if you are in the insider account, sure you will be signed in with your Microsoft account
leave the insider program, delete all the files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download by clicking shift+delete, and then sign into a local acoount
that's all your headache is over
it shows that error in windows 11 preview
pls reply if you find out this solution useful.

Strange - thank you for writing about it because this address is used to communicate only on issues related to this MTC site.
So this is a mistake that needs to be explained.
Please email this address and include a link to this discussion as it will be helpful to others.
I understand that you do not currently have Windows11?- EricStarkerOct 11, 2021Former EmployeeJust a heads-up - I removed our Tech Community email address from your post as people are mistakenly thinking they can email us about Windows 11 questions.
We will look into the nature of that Insider post you responded to, but please note to everyone that you should not email the Tech Community team for product questions. That's what the Tech Community website is for!- DeletedOct 11, 2021This also seems to be analyzable because it directs to the address of the e-mail to MTC
