@aditya23op  Hi,

What’s coming for the Windows Insider Program in 2023 | Windows Insider Blog

Unfortunately, only a clean installation of Windows is the solution in the Blog is an explanation of :)

Hi @aditya23op,

There are a few possible reasons why you might not be able to change your Insider settings from Canary to any other, or leave the Insider program altogether:

• You are running a preview build of Windows that is not yet eligible for switching channels or leaving the program.
• You have a pending update available.
• There is a problem with your Insider account or settings.
  
  

To troubleshoot the issue, try the following:

1. Make sure that you are running the latest preview build of Windows. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates.
2. If you have a pending update available, install it.
3. Try restarting your computer.
4. If you are still unable to change your Insider settings, try leaving the Insider program and then rejoining. To do this, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program and click Stop getting preview builds. Once you have left the program, you can rejoin and select a different channel.

If those options don't work, you will need to reinstall (fresh install) the Windows.

°before I was in beta channel, there it was showing me the option to switch between insider programs but now i can't when i choose the canary one.
° why microsoft didn't show a warning if this the case with canary channel , its so annoying.
