    Hi guys, been a while since I last posted here.

    Got a problem with a friends PC. They upgraded to Win 11 and are having issues with a WiFi driver which doesn't like Win 11 at all. They want to revert but have gone past the 'go back' period of 10 days.

    Are there any methods that can keep their install normal yet still revert?

    Hell can the 'go back' function just be re-enabled via registry or DISM?

    Any help on this would be appreciated and time is of the essence as they have to head out of the country in a week.

    (As a short term potential fix, I'm already trying to find a working driver for the WiFi ;) )

    Afaik, not possible to downgrade major builds after the 10 day period.

    After the 10 days reverting period the files are most likely removed.

    Files for going back are purged after 10 days or higher since "upgrade" has taken place, during automatic maintenance. I have automatic maintenance disabled and could revert to old builds forever (unless I remove the files manually).
