just go through this site and you will find the solution for this windows 11 update sh*t.
I just downloaded some registry files and installed it.
Boom!!!!! my update issue solved.
I have followed every advice I can find, yet I am still in the same boat as those who have come here to resolve a big issue. Being an Insider member, Win10Pro system update notified my PC (Intel Z170 Mobo + i7-6900K CPU) that Win11 insider version will be installed on next reboot. I had already gone and checked my system to ensure my hardware was compatible w/Win11. A day AFTER/UPON installation of the Insider Win11, the system told me that my hardware became non-qualified (non-compatible) w/Win11. This is the first time (since days of Win3.x) that I reverted my system back to a previous version because of all sorts of issues I have w/new Win11.
Now, I am being told that the only way to stop the nagging Win11 Install threat is to do a Fresh new Installation of Windows 10 or spend another $1500+ USD to make my hardware compatible w/Win11/
Hey Dufus: Why do you think we have always stock with WinOS? Because Microsoft used to respect legacy hardware. Now youa re telling my Skylake desktop is NFG? I think this is the moment I can assuredly say that Microsoft has become NFG (or the tail that wags the dog).
While I was trying to opt-out of Insider, Microsoft wanted to ask my experience. I went thru the questionnaire to the end and submitted it. This was the response I received:
Your request failed. Please e-mail mailto:techcommunity@microsoft.com and provide the date and time you received the error and this Exception ID: 7CC187C8. Please also provide a summary of the steps you took which led to this error message"
Once again I want to thank you and I really understand your frustration!
But there are other examples: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-insider-program/windows-11-insider-preview-10-0-22000-100-low-spec-laptop/m-p/2639582 It is not predictable, but stopping automatic update can only occur after a clean installation of Windows10
- A few other sites have this ongoing topic (e.g. tomshardwareDOTcom/how-to/uninstall-windows-11) that I am currently negotiating thru. Along with some old-skool techniques.
*I also periodically (at least every 6months) use Acronis True Image for these express situations when sum dufus 'recommends' a "CLEAN INSTALL", as if that task was but a mere 8 hours to reconstruct.
If I am lucky to rid Win10 of Win11 pending update (although I have previously "opted out", then "left the Program" and then, I "Unenrolled my device"), I will post my results upon crossed-fingers and a reboot. Otherwise, it could only mean that my June2021 Acronis image build has been my savior once again, no thanx to microsoft/windows team.- I have the best solution
if you are in the insider account, sure you will be signed in with your Microsoft account
leave the insider program, delete all the files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download by clicking shift+delete, and then sign into a local acoount
that's all your headache is over
it shows that error in windows 11 preview
pls reply if you find out this solution useful.- THANK YOU!!
Tried literally everything except GPEdit since I use Home edition, and yours is the only one that worked.
I originally downgraded back to windows 10 because 11 makes XLR microphones not function right, but every time I downgraded to 10, windows 11 instantly started downloading itself before I could even pause updates. So every time I downgraded, when I shut my computer off it was forcing windows 11 installation again. So tiresome.
Deleted that folder, restarted and it's gone thank you so much.
