    How to Enable or Disable Insider Build Settings in Windows 10


    You can get Insider Preview builds to make sure you get all the new features that are on the way and help Microsoft make it even better.

    This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable access to the "Windows Insider Program" Settings in Windows 10.

    This can be handy to prevent changes being made to the Insider settings after setting them how you wanted.

    You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to enable or disable access to the "Windows Insider Program" Settings page.

    *note This policy setting applies only to devices running the Pro, Enterprise, Education, or Server editions of Windows 10.

    This policy will not work in the Windows 10 Home edition.

    Enable or Disable Insider Build Settings in Windows 10


    Correct. Using step 3 in Option 4 of that tutorial will set "Feedback frequency" to "Never" to effectively disable it.

    Just to be clear, that will not disable getting Insider Preview builds or the "Windows Insider Program" Settings page.

    Enable or Disable Insider Build Settings in Windows 10


    Hi @Brink

    We were cross-posting there - oops!
    So then disabling Notifications (Option 4) over-rides Frequency (Option 2)?

    And....How DO you disable getting Insider Preview builds? THAT would be useful to know

    Enable or Disable Insider Build Settings in Windows 10


    Thanks @Brink - I'll try that later....but I still don't understand WHY it worked on 2 Pro machines but not on a Home one!
    Any ideas?

    Also, your suggestion turns off the Feedback Notifications but I want to keep away from any communications with, or involvement in the Insider Programme. So, to be clear, are we saying that stopping the notifications is effectively preventing MS from getting any feedback at all?

    Should I execute Option 2 (Feedback Frequency as well as, or instead of Option 4?

    Ah...reading further (sorry), you say "If you disable Windows Feedback Notifications, it will set "Feedback frequency" to "Never" and can't be changed"

     
  6. Get a Windows 10 licence for free if you register on Windows Insider

    from Gabe Aul today : http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwi...changes-to-windows-10-insider-preview-builds/

    well from the sounds of it, anyone who UPGRADED to windows 10 Preview wont have to do anything as it already has your Serial win 7/8.1 key logged.

    The crux of it is this:

    • Do you want to continue as a Windows Insider and keep getting preview builds after 7/29?
    • Or do you want to upgrade your Genuine Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 system that has been getting Windows 10 Insider Preview builds to the 7/29 release and stop being an Insider?
    “I want to continue as a Windows Insider!” If you want to continue as a Windows Insider past 7/29 there is nothing you need to do. You’re already opted in and receiving builds in the Fast or Slow ring depending upon your selection. This is prerelease software and is activated with a prerelease key. Each individual build will expire after a time, but you’ll continue to receive new builds so by the time an older prerelease build expires you’ll have received a new one. Since we’re continuing the Windows Insider Program you’ll be able to continue receiving builds and those builds will continue to be activated under the terms of the Windows Insider Program. We provide ISOs for these builds for recovery from any significant problems, but they are still pre-release software. As part of the program we’ll upgrade Insiders to what is for all intents and purposes the same build as what other customers will get on 7/29, but that will be just another build for Insiders, and those who stay in the program will simply get the next build after as well.

    “I want to opt out of the Windows Insider Program on 7/29.” If you decide to opt-out of the program and upgrade to the 7/29 build you will be subject to exactly the same terms and conditions that govern the offer* that was extended to all Genuine Windows 7 and 8.1 customers. This is not a path to attain a license for Windows XP or Windows Vista systems. If your system upgraded from a Genuine Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 license it will remain activated, but if not, you will be required to roll back to your previous OS version or acquire a new Windows 10 license. If you do not roll back or acquire a new license the build will eventually expire.

    It is our hope that the vast majority of Windows Insiders who have been with us since we announced the program last year will continue forward, and it was in that light that we authored the blog post about upcoming changes to the program. I regret that this caused confusion about who was or was not eligible for the Windows 10 upgrade offer, but hope that this helps to clarify.

    Thanks,
    g
