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.

    Thanks again for the info. Please excuse my ignorance, but re your last sentence "always keep a system image backup of a good working released public build system to revert to" - are you referring to keeping everything totally backed up. I have Carbonite backup - is that what you consider a "good working released public build system"? I just want to make sure I'm correctly understanding what your were referring to. If I'm incorrect, it would help if you could explain further. Once again, I appreciate your help.

    @EileenFazzini,

    The current public Build is 22621.2215, which is working without any major problems.

    Before updating or experimenting with any insider Build, I save a complete System Image backup on a separate Internal or external drive.

    I use the Backup utility built into windows; it still works fine. I don't need to use any third-party utility.

    All my data is on a separate internal drive and the C: drive is only used for the Windows operating system, so it is relatively quick to backup. The utility runs from the control panel.

    If I need to restore the system, I just boot from a USB installation media and use the option to restore the system image from the backup drive and that brings me back where I started. 😉

    Hello! I joined the Canary channel of the Windows Preview program. Now I want to exit, but according to the method on the official website, I cannot choose to retain personal data when using a USB flash drive to reinstall the Windows system. How should I do to keep my data and quit Preview?

    You cannot keep your programs and data when doing a clean install.

    The only way would be by restoring an image backup that you saved before joining the insider program, if you did not make an image backup you don't have a way to revert back to your original system. 😎🤷‍♂️
