I can see it's not just me having this problem. I've been in the Insider program for years and this has happened before, maybe not this long though. Microsoft could just say yes, guys, we're having a problem and are working on it? No?
We can't reach the Windows Insider Programme right now

Hey, I've signed up for the Windows Insider programme from the website. However, when I go to the Windows Insider tab in Windows Update settings, it gives me the error "We can't reach the Windows Insider Programme right now. Please try again later or check the forums for info".
I've tried restarting my computer (multiple times), disabling my antivirus + firewall, and enabling all diagnostics data to Windows. It still isn't working. Can anyone advise?
Thank you!
Jack.

Try doing the following and see if it helps.
- Open the regedit
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost
- On left panel right click that key and delete it.
- Close regedit and restart
Windows will rebuild the folder once you reboot.
