    I think cleanmgr will delete some of the old platform updates from ProgramData folder, but it will leave the last two platform updates that were installed. It's under Microsoft Defender Antivirus files.

    Thank you @atplsx for posting the direct download links for all versions of the Beta platform updates, over the past few months. It's definitely appreciated. :good3:

    Does this work on the beta branch of Windows 11?

    Dont install dev security health setup on lesser builds, it messes up the update servers when it comes to Microsoft pushing the correct version for your build

    You can install the platform updates ..but you will have to manually check this thread and update yourself after
