Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23560 (Dev Channel) | Windows Insider Blog

This is the latest version – so you didn't stop the built-in insider update.

What do you want to do now that you're still in the Dev channel?

thanks @A1
i want to leave the insider programme. my initial intention was to get copilot, however i think i made a mistake. i want to remove it and just go back to the original windows 11

Sorry, you need to do a clean install of Windows in this discussion there is a link on the Insider Blog - there are instructions, unfortunately this is the only way you can have stable Windows.

can't change insider settings from canary to any other , nor can leave the insider program - Microso...

thats hectic. i have my documents saved to the cloud. would that be okay? i really dont wanbt to lose everything

@cyedmondson2485  

Documents stored in the cloud are not affected, but if you have never done so, ask someone to make copies properly and prepare everything.

If, for example, you leave the settings and apps in the settings of the new installation - you will still be in Insider.

I wish it was easier, but this is the only solution to go back to stable Windows.

@A1
