Joining Office Insider

Hi,

Looking for some ideas please. I used to be on the Office Insider current channel (preview). I got a new laptop and now, although I can select join office insider, tick sign me up and accept T&Cs. Nothing happens and I just stay on the standard Current Channel.

I'm on a corporate device, but I own the company. I know it is allowed in Group Policy as I used it previously. I did a Reg Add (reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\officeupdate /v updatebranch /t REG_SZ /d CurrentPreview) as well, but that hasn't changed anything.

Any thoughts on what I'm missing?

Thanks

Ok, so I figured this out. I had to go into Account Privacy and enable Optional Connected Experiences. I had known this needed to be on, but it would have been helpful if the Insider enrollment had told me that this was the problem rather than just doing nothing.

    So I'm having the same issue even with Connected Experiences checked.
