Hi Robert,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Please provide more information on your question, it is not clear what Exit you are referring to

1

If you mean you have upgraded to Windows 11 and you want to revert to Windows 10, open the Settings app, then go to System - Recovery - Go Back

if that option is not available to you, then it must be more than 10 days since you upgraded, and the only method to go back to Windows 10 would be to backup your personal files and clean install Windows 10 from a bootable USB.

If that is not what you are referring to, what difficulty are you experiencing 'Exiting' Windows 11?

Thank you, Arya.

Frequently Asked Questions: Windows 11

I found the above Topic to be more than complete, Install or uninstall.

If you are installing Windows 11, I differently would read this Topic. Or, on the other hand, do as I did and read tons of material for days before finding all my questions answered by the above Topic.

You maybe need to clarify, "exit"? I take it you dont mean 'shutdown'?
