Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14271

I'm getting a lot of freezes in Build 14271. Plus I got a lot in 14267 too.

 

As far as I can tell, judging by my tests both on real physical and virtual machines, it is at the moment (build 14271) totally impossible to stop receiving Insider builds.

 

Switch to a local account! *Wink

 

It would appear simple to stop receiving insider builds - log on with a local account only, and possibly use regedit on the

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\ and delete all subkeys.

Postscript:

It would seem to me that the "Windows Cyber Defense SenseClient" which is not mentioned by any other security software houses, AFAIK, is an anti Windows hack defense.

I would guess that systems hacked by the various methods of activation seemingly allowed since RTM, will start getting warnings due to this "sense - defense" protocol, for users to validate and legitimize their installations by purchasing licenses as the deadline of the end of free upgrades approaches.

 

Yes, that works of course. But what about a newbie user, not too advanced? Shouldn't stopping the Insider builds simply work whenthe user clicks the button:




If not, why is the button still there?

I am not complaining, I will remain Insider and want Fast Ring builds as long as the current system is working but when trying to think about those users wanting to stop it, this IMO should work.

 

I would like a clarification, if you don't mind.....................
When you were on 14267, it also froze when you tried to Stop Insider Preview Build in particular ?
Thank you.

 

tracit99,
Assuming you do want to Opt out of Insider Preview build program....................
Since I do not get a clarification of whether build 14267 also froze when trying to enable Stop Insider Preview Build option, I am going to propose this suggestion anyway.
You decide if it is worth trying at all.

Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Go back to an earlier build, click the Get Started button.
Supposedly you will be back to your previous build.
If so, try the Stop Insider Preview build option again.
Hopefully, it won't freeze this time.

 

The setting is definitely broken!
However, you could switch to an account that's not Registered with the Insider Program.

 

I am on 14271. I did not try it on 14267.

 

Please read Post #97.

 

This Build is a mess!
Edge is 'borked' right up! (Why does that not surprise me!) *really

I'm gonna go for a clean install/local and see what happens.

 

Thank you for your suggestion. I cannot go back as I have deleted Windows.old. For now I have sent info via Windows Feedback. Hopefully this will be fixed in a future build.
