The Insiders Preview is basically Microsoft’s way of shipping the public beta of the operating system to its users. There are three channels available i.e. Dev, Beta and Release Preview. Each channel gets its own set of updates periodically and the updates shipped are supposed to be more stable as you go down the channels. While the Release Preview channel receives stable updates that are validated by Microsoft, it is still part of the Insiders Preview which means things can go wrong. If you wish to be more on a safe side, you can choose to stop receiving Windows 11 Insiders Preview updates as a stable build is available for everyone now. There have been reports of users unable to change channels in the Insiders Preview, as everyone desires more stability on their systems. Now, if you wish to be on the stable build that is available to everyone, you need to be either enrolled in the Beta or Release Preview channel. In case you are in the Dev channel, you will not be able to switch to the stable build. If this case is applicable, you will first need to switch to the Beta or Release Preview channel after which you can get on the initial stable build that Microsoft is offering its users. Doing this will save you from the trouble of clean installing Windows 11 as some users may not be aware of the option available to them. With that said, let us get started and show you how to opt out of Windows Insider Preview.
