Windows 11 kicked me out of WIP on Windows 11.

Hi all.

Today I went to Settings > ... > Windows Insider Program page.

There I was asked to restart the PC.

After I restarted, I saw that I was left out of the Windows 11 Insider Program.

Now I am asked to install Windows 10 and then rejoin the Windows Insider Program Release Preview Channel.

So I understand now it is just about time to say good-bye to my Insider Colleages on Windows 11.

    Nope, if you were in the Red and in the Dev Channel

    you are out.

    So why is this a surprise to some?

    The warning was there from the beginning, except that MS is not respecting the GA deadline as promised.

    You all can still update using ISOs, or simply install CUs until a full new build

    Official Windows 11 ISOs will not hard block most PCs with CPUs that aren't officially supported

    Was reading a related thread on Twitter as well.

    The PCs given an exception will no longer receive any new future Insider Preview builds from the Dev Channel but will still get Cumulative Updates for Windows 11 leading up to GA. As I said, there is a distinction between *new builds* here.

    How are they supposed to receive "Cumulative Updates for Windows 11 leading up to GA" when they are being forced out of the WIP and instructed to install Windows 10?

    Good Morning Sibro, Suat and Wolfy,

    My Dev test laptop was kicked out last night as well. Was this not suppose to carry on till GA, which is Oct. 5th?

    Not surprised, I think many didn't expect it so soon.

    Or do what I may do, stay on the build we

    are on and don't move forward.

    This build has no expiry.
