Windows 11 - Release Preview channel
I recently clean installed Windows 11 22H2 using the Release Preview build 22621.2215 image from Microsoft. I have not yet re-setup Insider on this Windows install and I was wondering, being on an insider build whether Windows Update expects to see the machine linked to the Insider program to receive Windows Updates?

As you have done a clean install of Windows 11, you have to re-register yourself as an 'Insider' to receive Insider updates.

Go to Settings => Windows Update => Windows Insider Programme => Choose your Insider Settings.

I have never registered as an Insider. When the first Insider build of 11 was released in June 2021 I got myself a supported machine (System One below), cloned my then main Windows 10 machine to it, then upgraded it to the Insider build Win11 22000.51. I ran it like that for three months until the official release. It got all the updates without me having to join Insiders.

I still haven't become an Insider, but I run the Beta, Dev and Canary builds, both as VMs and on one of my laptops. They are all registered using the offlineinsiderenroll script.

So in other words you can run an Insider build without being an Insider and still receive normal/critical Windows Updates? I just thought it was unusual having not received any Windows Updates for over a week.

Did you actually install an Insider build? That may sound a silly question but Microsoft's terminology can be a little confusing at times. There are Preview cumulative updates for the General Availability channel (the one everyone gets as the public release) and then there are the Insider Preview channels: Release, Beta, Dev and Canary.

22621.2215 is a public build, a preview of the patches included in the Patch Tuesday update 22621.2283 on September 12th.

Yes I installed an Insider build .iso from Microsoft. My question is - will I receive the general availability updates on an Insider build while not yet signed back up to an Insider channel?
