Is there a way (registry change?) that can fix Windows Insider so that it stays on Release Preview?
Had a problem on another PC where it downloaded the latest Dev build even though I didn't change the setting - it was showing Dev instead of RP and I've spent half a day trying to get back to RP. Ended up doing a clean install!

On my Pro install I can set it in the Group policy to now allow anything other than RP - can I do similar with Home?

Mine shows like this on Pro as I set it in Group policy (see pic - all Preview channels are greyed out) - I need to get the same on Home. I used the command line thing shown in another post on this forum to install Group policy on Home but the setting has no effect
 
Windows Build/Version
