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.

    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?

    They sure broke an specific promise, shame on them!

    I envy your soon to be a monster system, kudos!

    Thanks Sibro. Very disappointed with MS for breaking the guideline till GA. Caught me off guard. I do have one compliant laptop that I put on W11 last week. With the new monitor, got well over 4G in this project. Might have to come out of retirement to pay for it all.

    Now watch MS render it all obsolete with W12 😂

    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?

    Rather than using ISO, suspect users can learn how to install SSU and CU manually.

    Appears time to finish the Desktop project. All parts are in as of today, including the massive 3070 video card.

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