    Hi Vincent,

    Are you trying to downgrade?

    You can't go from the Canary Future

    build to a lower build without doing

    a clean install.

    Hi Vincent,

    In the other thread you posted a comment in

    it seems you want to leave the Insider Program.

    In order to leave the Insider Program from the

    build you're on you have to do a clean install

    using the MCT ISO from here:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11

    Backup all your important files, etc. before

    doing a clean install.
