Build 22000.194 is out to Release Preview Channel KB5005635 UPDATED + ISO

edit: I used 22000.132 ISO to do the clean installation, during which .194 was downloaded and installed

OK, what is the final verdict ?

Is that machine out of the Windows 11 Beta game after updating to 22000.194 ?

I thought Eddie said they have tighten the restrictions with latest changes this week.

Something else looks unusual in you picture, I don't remember seeing the watermarks on 22000.xxx, I see those only on Dev 22xxx.1000 ?

There's a special procedure to install Windows on the Pi, you can't just boot from a usb drive and install it or run setup.exe from within and expect a good result.

I suppose the WoR team inserts the watermark to comply with MS restrictions because the drivers are unsigned, is running in "Test Mode", and possibly to comply with copyrights.

I have two old legacy PC's which were recently kicked out of insider program, but both of those get this CU.

My Raspberry Pi 4B was happily running Dev until it was kicked out, then Beta until now,

it got kicked out again after installing this update. 😢

edit: I'm going to try clean installing again, but this time offline to avoid the CU and see what happens

Do a Google search on that code. When I did, I saw a lot of info here:
