    Witajcie niejawni testerzy systemu Windows!

    Windows 11 jest teraz w kanale Beta, a niektórzy z was chcą przejść z kanału deweloperskiego. Otrzymaliśmy kilka raportów, że niektórzy z was nie widzą opcji zmiany w Ustawieniach > Windows Update > Windows Insider Program. Mamy poprawkę, która powinna przywrócić Cię na właściwe tory. Należy pamiętać, że ta poprawka dotyczy urządzeń, na których nie są wyświetlane ustawienia Wybierz niejawny tester i Ustawienia konta niejawnego programu testów systemu Windows, jak na poniższym obrazku.

    Obraz

    Jeśli to widzisz, wykonaj poniższe czynności, aby przywrócić brakujące opcje:

    1. Kliknij Start
    2. W polu wyszukiwaniawpisz cmd
    3. W prawym dolnym rogu wyników wyszukiwania, w obszarze Wiersz polecenia , kliknij Uruchom jako administrator
    4. W wierszu polecenia Kontrola kontaużytkownika kliknij przycisk OK
    5. W wierszu polecenia z podwyższonym poziomem uprawnień wpisz: bcdedit /set flightsigning on
    6. Naciśnij klawisz Enter
    7. W wierszu polecenia z podwyższonym poziomem uprawnień wpisz: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} flightsigning on
    8. Naciśnij klawisz Enter
    9. Uruchom ponownie urządzenie

    Powinieneś teraz zobaczyć brakujące opcje:

    Jeśli wykonanie tych czynności nie rozwiąże problemu, zgłoś nowy element opinii w Centrum opinii, abyśmy mogli to zbadać.

    Dziękuję!

    Niestety nie pomogło.

    W załączeniu nie widać proponowanych ustawień.

    Żadnej zmiany nie da się wykonać.

    It worked for me, what always trips me up is the spacing in the commands. So your command should be exactly like this-

    ** (where it says (spacebar) that means hit the space bar, do not type the word spacebar.)

    C:\Users\yourname>(spacebar) bcdedit /set (spacebar) flightsigning (spacebar) on

    hit enter , then

    C:\Users\yourname>(spacebar) bcdedit /set (spacebar) {bootmgr} (spacebar) flightsigning (spacebar) on

    hit enter, then restart

    And yet oddly, I'm running it. I've checked the specs -my hardware meets or exceeds them.

    I think the issue has to do with a user account that still thinks it's connected to n AD Domain. Even though that domain has been dead for some time. I referred to this in my original post. Thus I get the message below. I'd simply remove this account from the domain but it would require building a new user profile. So I'm going to try using a local account and see if the "lights come on" for changing the Insider settings

    If you have other thoughts I'm open to them.
