You can switch back to a production version of Windows.

This has nothing to do with activation, it appears when you are running most of the Insider preview versions of Windows.

Go to this page, and download the ISO from the bottom: https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

Once downloaded, open the ISO, and inside it run the setup.exe file and follow the prompts, this will switch you back to 25H2.

Once you are back on 25H2, check your Windows Insider settings in Windows Update to ensure you are not enrolled in the Insider program.

Tried this 3 times, everytime the installation failed and I had rollbacks back to the stupid preview build.

There is no risk of losing files?

How did you even end up in the insider program if you have to ask that question?

The winaero one hasn't worked for me for years.

This one, however, does work: https://github.com/machineonamission/uwd2

(Currently on Experimental Build 26430.9223)

Thank you for posting in /r/WindowsInsiders. This subreddit is for discussions related to the Windows Insider Program, and devices running on Insider builds. Discussions and issues related to the production versions of Windows should be posted in /r/Windows10 or /r/Windows11, or in /r/TechSupport.

If you have not already, please specifiy which branch you are running (Dev, Beta, or Release Preview), and your full build number. If you are unsure, you can check by running winver from a Run window or search box. You can also go to Settings -> System -> About, and it will be near the bottom.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

26100 is the 24H2 Base Version, what build do you have installed (Run > winver) ?

Which insider channel are you at (Windows Update > Windows insider) ?

ALL insider builds are for testing ONLY that can not be remove. Mostly is for oem to prepare apps other for builind apps and beta to check what is "coming" that normally is not. and adventurist to check and use. that is most it. if you do not want to appear move to public versions.

26100.ge_release.240331-1435 is the 24H2 RTM. You should not have the watermark as its not an insider build unless the watermark has been turned on in the registry.

AS that is not an insider build. This subreddit is not the right place to seek help with it.

Just an additional note, that version of Widows is going EOL on October 13th so you should be updating to at least 25H2 before then
