Windows Insider Program Issue

I was exploring the Windows Insider Program settings and noticed a channel called Canary. Out of curiosity, I switched to the Canary channel, which prompted an update. After completing the update and restarting my PC, I noticed some things seemed off, and certain features weren’t functioning properly. When I tried to switch back to the Dev or Beta channels, I realized I wasn’t allowed to change channels from Canary.

I’d appreciate your help in resolving this issue without resetting my PC.

    If you're unable to switch channels due to restrictions, you can submit feedback via the Windows Feedback Hub explaining your situation. Microsoft sometimes adjusts policies or provides specific solutions based on user feedback.
