I cannot leave Microsoft Insider Program

I am unable to leave the Windows insider program within my device's Windows Update>Windows Insider Program>Leaving the Insider Program> (Sign into Microsoft on Edge or Chrome) Leave the Program Now>Stop receiving Insider Preview builds.

  • This does not work for me, and in either situation ends up not refreshing any page, leaves a white dotted box around the blue button "Stop receiving Insider Preview builds"

Note: I have been signed up to the program for a matter of hours, did a fresh reinstall of Windows 11 and would like to make sure my system does not auto update to the newest Beta build. Now it appears I will be forced to even if I attempt to disenroll and I will have to install Windows 11 again to prevent this.
(I am the admin on my machine as well)

Additionally, I am unable to click off "Unenroll this device when the next version of Windows releases" - It is greyed out and is not an option for me.

Try deleting this Registry Key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost

Then reboot your device and then check that

you are no longer in an Insider Channel.
