    Hi Tushar,

    Leaving Insiders depends on what Insider

    Build and Channel you're in.

    Please use WIN+R and post what build #

    you are on.

    Hi Tushar Patidar,

    I understand you’d like to leave the Windows Insider Program and stop receiving Insider Preview builds.

    Please try these steps:

    • Open Settings.
    • Go to Windows Update.
    • Select Windows Insider Program.
    • Choose Stop getting preview builds.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to unenroll your device.

    If you are using Windows 10, the path may be Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program, then turn on Stop getting preview builds

    Please note that this usually works best when your device is on a public/production Windows build. If you want to go back to a stable version immediately, you may need to back up your important files first and use Windows recovery or reinstall Windows.

    Hope this helps and please let us know if the option is not available on your device. Thank you so much for your understanding.
