Window insider build ran into a problem
- EmergingleaderApr 04, 2023Copper ContributorI hesitantly signed up to become an insider. Ever since I downloaded the necessary links, it has been a migraine and embarrassing. My laptop is getting the green screen with a sad face saying your Windows Insider Build ran into a problem and needs to restart. This issue is past annoying, and exasperating. Will someone PLEASE ASSIST!!! I read some of the other posts from individuals who are experiencing the same issue but I do not completely understand what all I need to do to resolve this issue.

I have the same sad story to tell about Windows Insider Build: I am not sure how I got signed up with it, but about a month ago it started creating stops when I tried to boot (or load) my Dell W10 laptop. For a while I was able to do Safe Mode boots and after using them for a few minutes was able to do a normal boot. Then a week ago I could no longer do even SafeMode boots without Windows Insider placing stops creating a Stop notice then starting a "Preparing to repair" action, (each time promising to reboot...but the loop only continues. So now I have a useless laptop, with no way to cure the problem (and yes, I've tried to get to the Reset options, but, unfortunately, I did not actually do the Reset before it became impossible to get to those options....=if you can do a Reset...do it!).
I am submitting this in commiseration for anyone who's computer has been taken over by Windows Insider Build.
