    Going back to released Windows 11 depend on which build you have installed now.

    If you have build 28xxx or 29xxx then you have to do clean install of released version 26H2.

    If you have any 26xxx build then follow these steps:

    1). Download ISO for released version 26H2 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11?msockid=13c4190001016d9f341a0d8c008e6cab

    2). Delete WindowsSelfHost key from registry to get device out of insider program.

    Open regedit Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost Right click WindowsSelfHost -key and select delete. Restart.

    3). Mount downloaded ISO (right click and select mount.

    4). On mounted image to start in-place update to go to public version 26H2

    Hi,

    What is the Build number?

    You may not be able to leave it if you are in Experimental/Beta.
