    Thanks that seems to work... though it doesn't have an opt-out option (download the first release preview when it becomes available, then opt-out of insider builds when the first release build becomes available); I was asking whether there is a workaround for Windows not to restrict my options.

    I recall a reddit user saying that, if installed from a modified ISO, Windows 11 will allow all options on Insiders settings, so I guessed there are some registry keys that identify the device as updated from Windows 10 to 11 with the insiders program

    When Win 11 (22000.xxx) is installed, by any means, then there is no need to be enrolled into any IP channel to get the updates offered.

    This computer does not meet absolutely to any of Windows 11 requirements, but all updates have been installed using Windows Automatic Updates. This screenshot have been taken just now and I have no changes there, no new notifications or something else.
    This computer was made and purchased in 2006 and is 100% original.

    Don't sign in at the insider preview settings and you're done, 22000.xxx updates will be offered on WU.

    This news today seems to fly directly in the face of the press briefing that MS gave reporters last week about the so-called "loophole." Everyone mentioned the ISO loophole, yes, but they also mentioned that being an Insider was another way to be exempt, That was taken as a reversal of MS's months-ago declaration that unqualified Insiders would need to install Win10 once Win11 went RTM. Now the reversal has been reversed.

    who cares :) did they close bypass 7 loophole...nope so no matter what they try this forum and others will have the tools ready when MS releases final CU or close to it that and whatever checks builtin to cu updates :) only newbs on this forum and youngans scared unlike us old guys since days of DOS that no different for any software; even hardware flags can be bypassed with people that no bios and other firmware hacks to spoof like tpm and others; encryption and bitlocker defeated from the get go so this is yawn..... babyfood for this forum :)
