Windows 10: Start or Stop Receiving Insider Preview Builds in Windows 10

aksalaymeh,

The red "some settings are managed by your organization" message at the top indicates that you have a policy enabled that disabled at least "Choose how updates are installed".

Double check the note box under step 3 in option one to see if any applies to you.

Did you disable sending telemetry?

Double check that you have Diagnostic and usage data set to Full (Recommended) in the tutorial below. You didn't answer you posted question there though.

I installed Windows 10 Enterprise build 10240 64 bit, I activated it, I switched the local account to a Microsoft account, I enabled the "Insider Builds" and selected the Fast ring.

So I checked the updates but Windows did not find any new build. Why?

Thanks

Bye

 

Hello Balubeto, *Smile

Sometimes it may take a bit. Keep checking off and on, and it should be available eventually.

 

I can not download any build. Why?

It is possible to force the download of the builds?

Thanks

Give it a few days mate. *Smile

 

It seems absurd that a person has to wait whole days before being able download these builds.

What is the mechanism which regulates these downloads?

Is there a way to reduce these waiting times?

Thanks

Bye

 

Nope. It's just a matter of when it shows up after checking for updates. Of course, you have to be signed in to a Microsoft account, and that account verified on the PC.

 

In other words, it is only a matter of luck.

Thanks

Bye

 

No, time and patience. *Wink

 

Went back to a previous version as a version with Fast Insider crashed my Game
( discovered when I tried everything else bar returning to a previous version )

Now I'd like to opt out, but can't as the CONFIRM button is not there .

Is there a solution as I'd rather not download an ISO and reinstall again?

 

Hello smileye,

Usually when you're not able to stop receiving Insider builds, you will need to reinstall Windows 10. Did you install Windows 10 using an Insider build ISO?

You could try doing a repair install instead without losing anything to see if you will no longer be an Insider afterwards.

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

 

Thanks for reply Brink

My win 10 is an upgrade from 7
so I have no ISO or USB media for the repair .

In your experience would a reset or refresh be the preferred option?

 

You can download a Windows 10 ISO using OPTION ONE below it you wanted to try a repair install.

A reset or refresh will work, but you would lose a lot everything with a reset, and all apps with a refresh.

You wouldn't lose anything doing a repair install, but there's no guarantee that it will work. If it doesn't, then you could still do a reset or refresh though.

 

Wonder if I will fall foul of this:

• The installation media (ex: build[/b] as your currently installed Windows 10. If it's not, then the repair install will fail.
  
  I can see my build is Insider preview 11099 , wonder what version is on the USB I d/loaded + created ?
  Will it be different ?

 

If you still have the ISO file, you could use the method in the tutorial below to see what its build number is.
