Can't Move from Release Preview to Beta Channel
!!! SOLVED: After a day and a restart, Beta and DEV Channel are now selectable. Thanks!!! Hi. Is anyone able to help me? I remember selecting the Beta Channel (as it is considered recommended) back when I upgraded from windows 10 to 11. However, I'm receiving a popup message right now stating that my insider build would expire soon. After viewing the Windows Insider program in settings, I noticed that I'm in the Release Preview channel and both Beta and Dev Channel were greyed out. I wanted to move on to Beta or Dev channel to remove this popup expiration message. What should I do? For context, here are my PC Specs: Windows 11 Single Home Language Ryzen 5 3400G Processor 16GB RAM Secureboot Enabled TPM 2.0 Enabled Here's a preview of what I'm talking about: https://imgur.com/ahOkyKh If someone could help me out. Please do so. Thank you!

Going from a Dev build of Windows 11 to a release preview/beta channel without a clean install
Hello, I've been enjoying trying out the Dev version of Window 11, but recent updates made it so unstable I can barely use it (e.g. right click only now rarely works). I'm keen to get back to Win 10 - whether the official release, beta channel or release preview - but apparently any downgrade requires a clean install. What's the next best thing if I don't want to reinstall everything? Wait for the next 11 Dev release and hope things are fixed? Cheers, Seb

Bug@ Settings > Windows Update > Windows Insider Program
I joined the Windows Insider Program months ago, and I currently have Windows 11 activated. For some unknown reason, I have this on my screen, but I know as a matter of fact that this is false. I know that Windows 11 is officially released now, but this is not the kind of message that should be displayed here if the Windows Insider Program is obsolete now.

Opt out of Windows Insider program
Hi. After being Windows Insider "Fast Ring member" for a few months (WSL2 being the only reason for that), few days ago I opted out of it (turned "Stop getting preview builds" option on). Today I noticed I'm offered to install new patch, and since I believed it was 20.04 I check to install it. After that I just checked online for build version and noticed it is not 20.04 but new prerelease (19613.1000). I stopped update as my intention is to go with normal releases. Quick check in Windows insider tab menu in Options shows me that I'm still Fast ring member (although "Stop getting preview builds" is checked). I tried to move from "Fast ring" to "Release preview", but with no luck. CHanging option in Windows is possible, but after changing window to i.e. Window update and returning to Windows Insider I noticed that Fast ring is selected again. After few attempts I tried to move to Slow ring which went fine, but trying to change again to "Release preview" does not help. So, it seems to me that no matter what I pick, only Fast ring and Slow ring. Is there a way for me to install next regular build (19041?) and opt out completely out of Windows Insider without reinstalling everything? Do I need to wait for a few weeks until 19041 is officially released or some other action on my side is necessary on my side (as currently Windows on my machine is of version 19592.1001)?
