Hello All,

I was on Beta and moved to Canary for a day or 2. I think changed by Insider program back to Beta.

My update history shows Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.22624.1391 (ni_release), however, whenever I try to update I get the following error: "There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x8024401f)".

Whenever I click on Windows Update, Windows Insider program is shows Installed Build: 23403.1001. ni_prerelease

My windows wallpaper show in the bottom right hand corner that I am on Evaluation copy.Build 23403.ni-prerelease.23025.1635.

I know that I would have to a fresh install on Windows to get myself back to the true Beta channel.

My question is "if I wait" will an update finally come out that catches the Beta channel up to this version that I have in the 23403? I assume that is the Canary Channel?

Looking for options besides doing a fresh install.

Hello there,
Please take time to fill out your specs in your profile when you get a chance.

You are on a different branch and 23403 is Dev

Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23403

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23403 to the Dev Channel. As a reminder, we have rebooted the Dev Channel to begin flighting 23000 series builds

Sadly for you, there will be no catching up by Beta builds no matter how long you wait.
There could be a window to opt out but those are few and rare.

You cannot escape "Hotel California" as Canary channel is affectionately called on this forum. There is no way to revert to Beta. Only option is to clean install.

Sometimes Insider version forgets information. You may have to relink account to Canary channel to get updates

Also, you may have to turn "flightsigning" on.

Good morning,

First, if you are on version 23403, you are on the DEV channel and not the Canary channel.

Just a question, has it been a long time since you moved from the beta channel to the DEV channel?
