Elliot B. Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) I am currently a home user and on the Slow Ring. I wish to stop receiving Insider Preview builds. On the "Get Insider Preview builds" page, I get, "Your organisation manages Insider Preview builds via a telemetry Group Policy setting." The "Fix me" button and "Stop Insider Preview builds" link are greyed out. Any ideas?

Circaflex Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Did you use one of those programs to stop the "spying?" You need to make sure Settings > Privacy > Feedback & Diagnostics > Under "Diagnostic and usage data select "Full (Recommended)" from the drop-down. is enabled. if you cannot enable the option, you need to use gpedit.msc to enable it: "Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Data Collection and Preview Builds". I had to enable all three settings. make sure Telemetry is at least on level "2 - Enhanced" Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1313480-unable-to-disable-receiving-insider-preview-builds/#findComment-597660796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Biscuits Brown MVC Posted November 9, 2016 MVC Share Posted November 9, 2016 Circaflex, since he's on Win 10 Home, no gpedit. Not sure what course of action he needs to take...

spaceelf Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) I'm not sure you can disable them unless it's the same build as release. ...not sure what Slow is at right now honestly.

Doh, missed that part. Sounds like one of those tools to disable telemetry was used. Revert that and you should be able to leave the insider program.

Monkeys4me Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 This can also be related to 3rd party security software... so if you're using any antivirus/anti-malware, firewall, or other types of software you might want to try disabling or uninstalling it.

Steven P. Administrators Posted November 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted November 9, 2016 Yeah I used one of these programs a long time ago to disable some telemetry, and the program didn't even do a decent job of restoring settings (when it was an option). Best bet is to use gpedit as described.

Circaflex Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Did you ever use one of those programs to disable telemetry? It sure looks like it.

Well, stuff like this just doesn't randomly happen out of thin air, something was changed on your system via gpedit or the registry. I would recommend resetting your group policies to defaults: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/68549-local-group-policy-settings-reset-default-windows-10-a.html If resetting the policies does not work, there has been a change made to the registry that needs to be fixed.

That worked Thanks However, I can't stop the Insider builds as I'm currently on build 14931.1002, which is not a production build Oh well.
