I found out what went wrong. The first USB stick I tried didn't want to boot immediately. I tried different boot options to get to the windows installation and must have selected one that reinstalled windows from the system itself and not from the USB stick. I now tried a different stick and got the familiar installation procedure again and now i'm on build 22000.675
Can't leave windows insider program!

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.

a clean install of the latest stable build.
you would have to use: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows11
Make sure to backup everything important prior to a clean install.
