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.

    Hi all,
    i have the same problem on windows11 system.
    My windows update page on my pc tell me that the system is configured to receive insider update.

    Microsoft portal reports that the mail is not associated to the Insider program.

    It's correct that my mail is not more associated to the insider program, but I need to remove the pc to the program and no more receive the insider updtate.

    Please can you tell me how to remove the program from pc without fresh reinstall?

    Regards

    Your screenshot shows you are in Beta Channel, but you should use "winver" command to show exactly which beta Build is currently installed.

    1. You should uninstall all the Beta enablement packages that you find installed in your system and reboot to get back to Build 22621.xxxx.
    2. Delete the registry key WindowsSelfHost and reboot. That will take you out of insider.
    3. Check for updates to get to the current level of public Build 22621.2283.

    If you are already higher than 22621.2283 you will have to wait until the next windows updates catch up and get higher than your current 22621.xxxx.

    Please show the level you are currently on. 😎

    I’ve researched this for a long time. There is no way to get out of it without a complete reinstall. Or if you have a recovery image on an external drive you can boot up with it and recover your OS. Either way, it’s a complete reinstall.

    You can try to monkey with the registry but I wouldn’t go that route. Unless you are an advanced user and have time and patience.

    >There is no way to get out of it without a complete reinstall.

    That's apply only for Dev and Canaey channel builds. If user have Beta channel build it's possible to leave insider program and go back ti stable Windows 11 version without clean install.

    If user have Beta build 22631.xxxx it may be possible to uninstall Beta channel Enablment package and go back to build 22621.xxxx. Now deleting that mentioned key will kick device out of getting previews.

    If user is in Beta build 22621.xxxx or 22631.xxxx it's also possible to delete that mentioned key and do repair installation using latest official ISO build 22621.1702 This will let you keep data and installed apps and install that build 22621.1702. Then you can use Windows Update to get latest C.U. for Widows 11 22H2. (I test that yesterday with build 22631.2338.)
