navdeepsengh The current generally available Windows 11 (22H2) build number is 22621. Given that you are on a higher build (22623), you have two options.
1. Turn on the stop getting preview builds and wait until the next major release sometime next year.2. Back up all your apps and data, download the Windows 11 22H2 build 22621 ISO, and perform a clean install.

I have a similar issue. I enrolled for the insider preview and to help with windows 11. I now want to go to windows 11 final stable release.
My current version is 22H2 build 22598.1. Will this auto go to stable full build in July when the next major release happens? Or do I need to reinstall windows entirely to get rid of this evaluation copy message.
- DodgeManCopper ContributorI need to mention i am NOT on any dev or beta.
- Eddie LeonardIron ContributorWhat build and channel are you currently running? That will determine the process on how you leave the program.

Eddie Leonard Thanks Build Number is 22523.1000 & Channel is Dev
- DeletedHi Mbijay, there isn't a way to leave and join stable without doing a fresh install. As the Dev channel is on a very high version number way past stable so it's a downgrade. Not possible, you can reinstall Windows 11 though stable through the Windows Media Creation Tool. Select Upgrade, and keep nothing. Make sure to backup everything.

Hi there, you are welcome to the Microsoft Tech Community!
I recommend you to check out this article which will be helpful to you - https://www.howtogeek.com/758075/how-to-switch-from-insider-to-stable-builds-of-windows-11/
Remember that you will have to stay with the Windows Insider Preview builds until the next major release of Windows 11 will come i.e. March. If you want to go to the stable build now, I suggest you to perform a clean install with Windows 11.
