Windows 11 CO-Release Build 22000.51 is out to Dev Channel

Got it early today as well, and installed without incident.

Thanks,

Dave

I tried to follow the procedure on that article, but after I change the registry as suggested and restarted it reverted back to ReleasePreview.

It is almost like the setting is cached in some other place too.

We'll see if Johnny has better success.

I don't really need it for now because my 3 old legacy bios machines where already in Development channel and could do the updates without any problem. Even the old Dell Optiplex 380 updated fine to build 2200.51 from 21390.2025.

Still would be nice to know if there is a way to jump back in if anything happens.

Hi fg,

I only had to change the first section for registry, the second from article was already there. It is holding in Dev channel after several reboots. Device shows install date of 5/26/2021 but WU would not install. It would go through process, report Secure Boot issue. That is with the 2 lines already added in registry (BypassSecureBootCheck) after 1st fail.

Next up ISO install on this device. Strange have no issue with virtual machines. It upgraded from 21390 via WU and also clean installed via default ISO in another vm. The Surface Pro upgraded via WU from 21996.1. Had to join Insider and it offered all 3 channels.

Regards,

Is you hardware up to date?

The PC has been in the Insider DEV channel for about 2 years. I've been an Insider since 10/01/2014. I'll reboot and try it again tomorrow. It did keep asking me for passwords 3 or 4 times, so maybe something got screwed up doing all that. I've had a busy day today & tomorrow looks busy too, but I'll keep trying as time permits.

@Eddie,

My non-compliant Dev laptop required a total clean install. Was not aware of the cutoff date at the time clean installing 21390. This device was in Dev channel for atleast 5yrs or more.

Any suggestions, please private message if necessary. Prefer not to use a forced method. It is currently stuck in RP due to the cutoff date. The VMware vm is upgrading from 21390 to 22000.51
