Hi,
I cannot leave the windows insider program. I've tried all emails that I've ever signed into on my computer, and all of them just say "This email address is not registered as a windows insider". I only pressed the join button to the windows insider program to see what it would do, I didn't sign up with an email or anything. It won't let me out. I would really like to get out because it's restricting my updates! I need help, please.

Windows Insider program | Program announcements and registration | Registration, enrolling, and unenrolling

    Your screen shot shows you are in the Dev Channel.

    If you wish to leave Dev Channel or the Insider Program

    the only way to do that is by doing a clean install if its

    been more than 10 days since you joined.

    Or you can wait as per the Blog dated 2/3/22:

    I tried for so long to get out of the Windows Insider Program (that I never signed up for) but finally found a solution that worked for me. The link came from my Microsoft friend. I am on Win 10 Home. I used this link and followed instructions below: "You can set the target feature upgrade version to the current or a newer version of Windows 10 to ensure that you stayed on a specific version of Windows 10." (This fix did not turn off all future Win10 updates) https://allthings.how/how-to-stop-windows-11-update-from-installing-on-your-windows-10-pc/#:~:text=In%20the%20Services%20window%2C%20scroll,status%20to%20stop%20the%20service

    Just before rebooting I deleted the whole contents of: C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download

    I did not have to do anything else and Windows 11 no longer tries to load with reboot/update!!!! My last 2 update & reboots installed only Win 10 updates!!!
