I've been waiting for the 25309 update to check out the new volume mixer... I get frequent updates, but I am way back in the 24xxx builds (actually 23481). Is there any way I can force update to the build I am waiting for? Thanks for the help.

Sounds like you have been caught out by the MS reboot of the Insider channels. In March a new Canary channel was added, and the rebooted Dev channel switched to 23xxx series of builds. If you want the 25xxx series of builds, the latest of which is now Insider Canary Build 25393.1 then you need to check your Insider settings and make sure you are on the Canary channel.

Microsoft said:
Initial build series per channel:
  • Canary Channel: 25000 series.
  • Dev Channel: 23000 series.
  • Beta Channel: 22000 series.
  • Release Preview: Released versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11.

What is coming for the Windows Insider Program in 2023

Hi Folks, As the Windows Insider Program enters its 9th year in 2023, I continue to be amazed at our ever-growing community. It’s with this mindset that we reflect on how we can achieve more with the program and the offerings for our Windows Insiders. Last year, we shared how we were evolving...

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to lid hinges starting to break up this laptop 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've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

    Info for 2021-2026:
    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.

Ah ok... yes, I didn't know about this... thanks for the info.

Is the canary channel prone to a lot of problems? If I switch to canary to get the features I want, can I then drop back to the "dev" channel and just wait for it to catch up with the canary build?

IMHO Canary or Dev aren't a good choice for a PC used day to day. I would only use them on a virtual machine or a spare test PC.

I strongly recommend you stick to Dev and no, once in Canary, you can't switch as they are different branches.

I think the reason MS have done this is walking back a Windows version is usually a messy affair.

Well, in the past you didn't have to walk back. For instance... I was in the dev channel and went to beta and it just stayed at the build I was on until beta went past that build.
