Do you want to take a break from Windows 10 previews? If so, in this guide, we'll show you two ways to opt-out of the Insider program without losing your files, apps, or settings.
On October 20, Microsoft began its controlled rollout of the Windows 10 October 2020 Update (version 20H2) to millions of compatible devices, which means that the company is gearing up to start delivering previews for the next release, as such it's now a good time to pull your device from the Windows Insider Program.
The Windows Insider Program aims to provide developers and enthusiasts early access to get their hands on upcoming features and improvements of Windows 10. However, during the early days of a new development, previews are rough and may contain bugs, incomplete features, and problems that might affect the experience.
Since there's not an easy way to get out of the program once new builds start shipping, when a new feature update becomes available, there's a short period where you can gracefully opt-out of the program without having to reinstall Windows 10. If you have a device enrolled in the program and want to take a break from preview builds, the time to opt-out is now. (You can also check out our full Windows 10 October 2020 Update review for details on this release.)
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to gracefully opt-out your computer from the Windows Insider Program without reinstallation. In the case that you've already applied a newer preview, we'll also outline the steps to revert to the stable release preserving your settings, apps, and files.
To gracefully opt-out of the Windows Insider Program before Microsoft starts releasing builds for the next version of Windows 10, use these steps:
•Open Settings.
•Click on Update & Security.
•Click on Windows Insider Program.
•Under the Stop getting preview builds section, turn on the toggle switch.
•Click the Restart now button (if applicable).
If you did not opt-out in time and your device already installed a new preview for the next version of Windows 10, you can still remove the device from the program, but the steps will be slightly different.
To uninstall a preview and rollback to the October 2020 Update, use these steps:
•Open Settings.
•Click on Update & Security.
•Click on Recovery.
•Under the "Go back to the previous version of Windows 10" section, click the Get started button.
•Select any reason from the list. For example, Earlier builds seemed more reliable.
To remove a device from the Windows Insider Program after rolling back to the Windows 10 October 2020 Update, use these steps:
•Open Settings.
•Click on Update & Security.
•Click on Windows Insider Program.
•Under the Stop getting preview builds section, turn on the toggle switch.
Once you complete the steps, Windows 10 will no longer try to download test flights on your device.
