Windows 10 Insider Skip Ahead problem.

I'm on Insider build 17677 and am trying to get build 17682 but Windows Update isn't working. I was set to get Windows Insider Skip Ahead builds but now my Windows Insider Program settings says "Your organization manages Insider Preview builds through
a Telemetry Group policy setting." The "Fix Me" icon is visible but greyed out so I can't select it and when I run Windows Update it won't get the new update. I ran Update Troubleshooter but nothing changed. I checked the registry settings suggested in several
online fixes and they were reset to BuildBranch instead of SkipAhead as they should be for Skip Ahead/Fast settings. I reset the registry settings to the Skip settings but when I restarted my computer the settings reverted to the BuildBranch settings. In fact
the settings reverted even if I didn't restart my computer. So I am blocked completely from getting any Insider builds at all presently.
