    Hi there, you are welcome to the Microsoft Tech Community!

    What you should also do is send feedback about it in the Feedback Hub app (Windows Key+F) with recorded diagnostics and also share the link of that feedback here so others having the same problem can upvote the feedback in order to resolve the issues as soon as possible.

    I am telling you to do this because I think it is a bug.

    **Please keep a note of the BitLocker recovery key; it will be essential for it. You can find it at aka.ms/myrecoverykey**

    2. While holding the Shift key, go to the power icon and click "Restart."
    3. Then advance startup menu appears, and there will be a "Troubleshoot" option.
    4. Go in Troubleshoot>Uninstall Updates>Uninstall feature update.
    5. Then, if the uninstall feature update is available, you will be able to go back to windows 10.
    6. Congratulations! You are now on windows 10:party_popper:
    I hope this might be helpful.

    Having this exact issue myself.
    Clicking 'Go Back' the mouse changes to the 'loading' icon for a second then nothing.

    This needs fixing asap considering the 10 day window users have to roll back to Windows 10.

      I don't have the desire to go back to Windows 10 as I like Windows 11. But, I tried it anyhow to see if I had the same result as others on here are reporting. I did have the same result as others. As someone else mentioned report it on the Feedback Hub so it might get corrected before the next Dev build release.
