My "More Options" slider is also still there and not grayed out.

Plus, I've been using the Security Settings option in the Chris Titus (CTT) tool in the past. It's been pretty reliable for those (like me) who want to go this route.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

I got a notification this morning that I needed to restart. Wanting to know why, I found that KB5095093 had been installed and noticed the option was gone.

Co-pilot said
The “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available” toggle was deprecated, and as a result some devices are being automatically enrolled into receiving Preview updates even if the user never opted in. Microsoft has moved to a unified rollout model where the OS decides when your device is eligible.
Windows now automatically manages whether you receive “momentum” (early) updates based on your device’s update channel and Microsoft’s rollout schedule.

I was POed because I don't want to be MS beta tester.

I am not an insider and have always had “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available” disabled. Today I noticed I no longer had that option and I had received KB5095093. So I asked dear old co-pilot and found that in their ultimate wisdom this option is now deprecated and MS is pushing Preview updates whether we want them or not.. I'm sure that a lot of other users do not want to install preview updates either.

To go back the way I was, I asked co-pilot which me directed to group policy settings that do not exist in my PRO.. Co-pilot also gave me an optional regedit method (creating 2 new dword values) which I used, but I had much rather use group policy if I can find the correct ones to modify. I have requested Brink to write a new tutorial on this so if you are like me and do not want to install preview updates, be on the look out for a new tutorial.

The full Group Policy editor is available only on the Enterprise/Education branch. Of course, that requires a volume licence. On the plus side, you don't have to reinstall Windows. An upgrade from Pro to Education was a simple affair.

You can now delay updates for up to 30 days but turning them off isn't recommended. Security and big fixes are always important, for as long as a particular Windows version remains supported.
