Hello Windows Insiders!

Windows 11 is now in the Beta Channel, and some of you are wanting to move over from the Dev Channel. We've been getting some reports that some of you are not seeing the options to change in Settings > Windows Update > Windows Insider Program. We have a fix that should get you back on track. Please note, this fix is for devices that are not showing the Choose your Insider Settings and Windows Insider account settings, as in the image below.

If you are seeing this, please follow the steps below to restore the missing options:

  1. If you have Bitlocker enabled, please suspend it.
  2. Click Start
  3. In the search box, type cmd
  4. In the lower right of the search results, under Command Prompt, click Run as Administrator
  5. On the UAC prompt, click OK
  6. At the elevated command prompt, type: bcdedit /set flightsigning on
  7. Press Enter
  8. At the elevated command prompt, type: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} flightsigning on
  9. Press Enter
  10. Reboot the device

You should now see the missing options:

If performing these steps to not resolve your issue, please file a new feedback item in Feedback Hub, so we can investigate.

Thank you!

    Да, в первом случае MaxTelemetryAllowed по умолчанию было установлено на 0x000000003 (3), но во втором случае такого пункта нет совсем, мне нечего удалять.

    UPD: я создала вручную пункт именно AllowTelemetry, установила значение "3", и программа предварительной оценки заработала.

    Огромное спасибо, и я прошу прощения за потраченное на меня время.

    ‎No, unfortunately, that's him. I turn on "Optional Diagnostic Data," close "Options," open it again, and the "Optional Diagnostic Data" switch is turned off again. I googled it and it says on the internet that you need to enable "Improving handwriting". Maybe that's not true, but then I have no idea why the switch is turned off.‎

    No, you do not have to have the inking enabled. Check the following two registry locations:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\DataCollection, if there is an AllowTelemetry entry here, be sure it is set to 3 (I believe you indicated it is already)

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection if there is an AllowTelemetry entry here, delete it.

    Нет, к сожалению, это именно он. Я включаю "Необязательные диагностические данные", закрываю "Параметры", открываю их снова, и переключатель "Необязательных диагностических данных" снова выключен. Я погуглила, и в интернете пишут, что нужно включить "Улучшение рукописного ввода". Возможно, это неправда, но тогда я понятия не имею, почему переключатель оказывается выключенным.

    ‎I can't run the insider program on 21H2 at all. The telemetry settings in the registry are set to the correct one (to "3"), but the slider is not available.‎
    (It's 'Improve Handwriting Recognition', and something gone wrong)

    That's not the one you need to enable. It's the one above that is "Send optional diagnostic data" that needs to be enabled.

    У меня вообще на 21H2 не получается запустить программу предварительной оценки. В реестре настройки телеметрии установлены правильные (на "3"), но ползунок недоступен.
