There are several sites that have users who WERE on the Win11 DEV Insider Program are now getting kicked out due to not being compliant. Seems to be tied to MS stating when Win11 will be released. Anyone here had that happen to them?

It appears that Microsoft has upped the ante on non compliant devices.
I hope you all made backup images.

Backup images are a very inexpensive way to recover from a disaster or to go back to an earlier build. For me to do a clean install and get my computer setup the way I want it takes days.

I have Windows 11 on this computer, but my others are still running Windows 10.
I really don't think people are missing much by not having Windows 11. I can easily live without it.

But I also know that update addiction is a real psychological condition.

Heh. I keep a folder called Utilities that has all of the programs that I need to do a complete install from scratch. I backup my browser profiles and several of my utilities that would take hours and hours to rebuild. I have a cheat sheet on which ones to do first. A clean install takes about 4 hours. from backing up to booting into my normal desktop. It takes practice, good backup, and meticulous notes but it goes so smoothly if I am properly prepared. Even the worst crash would only lose me a month's data in non-cloud backed up programs (mostly game backups).

I keep all installers for Software on an external backup drive so if I need to Reinstall I can just run through the installers, I also keep the Firefox and Thunderbird profiles so I can restore them in a couple of minutes. I also keep all serial numbers for software. Having said that as I backup all my PCs with Macrium it's unlikely I would need to actuall reinstall from scratch but old habbits......

You can switch from Dev to Beta (which cannot be done directly in Settings UI) using the Registry file from this tutorial:
Change Windows Insider Program Channel in Windows 11 (you can also read my notes there).

But this will keep you in Beta only until the next update or opening the Insider UI. To make this change permanent (at least until now), you need to disconnect from Insider account settings, where your current channel is stored. Look at the Registry mod and some explanations here.

Is this something that was fixed by MS? I was able to switch my desktop from the Dev Channel to the Beta Channel from within Setting.

Is this something that was fixed by MS? I was able to switch my desktop from the Dev Channel to the Beta Channel from within Setting.
Click to expand...
In my system, both Dev and Beta options are greyed, even though I am on Beta channel. The only available is Release Preview, but it mentions Windows 10, which may be either the unchanged string left from Windows 10, or the real downgrade to 10, which I am afraid of. BTW, the last beta 22000.176 was installed a few minutes ago without any problem.
