I don't want to update the Windows 11 system version.
The system frequently prompts for updates, and the pause option is grayed out and cannot be clicked. I heard that the new version will lose hard drive data, so I don't dare to upgrade it casually. Is there a reliable way to permanently disable updates?Windows 11 25H2 suddenly froze during normal use.

How can I transfer windows 7 to windows 11 without losing data?
My old but reliable Windows 7 machine is finally showing its age, and I've got a new computer coming with Windows 11. I'm totally lost on how to get all my stuff, documents, photos, maybe even some program settings over to the new system. I don't want to start from scratch if I can avoid it. What's the safest way to transfer windows 7 to windows 11 without losing data? I'm assuming I can't just "upgrade" the old PC itself, so I'm focusing on transferring my data. Do I just copy files to an external hard drive and drag them over? Are there specific tools Microsoft recommends, or should I use a third-party program?Insider Program Switching channel
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out regarding an issue I am facing with my Windows Insider Program settings. By mistake, I switched my device to the Dev Channel, but I would like to return to the Beta Channel. I attempted to switch back to Beta and even recovered my system once to resolve the issue. However, after an update, my system reverted to the Dev Channel again. I do not require the Dev Channel and would prefer to stay on the Beta Channel. Unfortunately, I am unable to perform a clean installation of Windows, as my laptop contains private and critical data that I cannot risk losing. I kindly request your assistance in providing a solution to help me switch back to the Beta Channel without the need for a clean installation. Please Microsoft team reach me out with the mail with solution i dont want to lose my data as i dont have any bootable drive

Hello, I use a 1tb SSD for my operating system, and a separate 2tb SSD for my video storage (D drive). After the latest Windows11 update - 2025-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5065426) (26100.6584), most of the folders are missing from my "D" Drive! - hundreds of hours of videos! The strange thing is that it only deleted select folders, unfortunately those with the highest value content (I have night vision/thermal cameras that operate through sophisticated tracking software to catalog known/unknown objects in the night sky). Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone recommend a recovery software to try and recover these file? I have kept this computer off and have not used any software since this occurred last Friday. Thank you.
