Windows 11 Installs everytime I restart my PC, I go straight back to Windows 10 and have no idea how to stop the cycle. Please Help

Pretty much the title. I've seen loads of threads/questions here about how W11 keeps getting forced on them but nothing i've tried actually fixes the issue. At no point did I click download and at no point did I tell it to install...

I put Windows 10 back on as soon as its finished updating, but within half an hour I get a notification in bottom left that Windows 11 is ready to be installed. Its infuriating.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

    Hi Sandy,

    Please ignore my previous reply. To stop Windows 11 from automatically installing, please set the "TargetReleaseVersionInfo" registry value to 22H2.

    For more information, see "Option 2" or "Option 3" in the link below.

    Set TargetReleaseVersionInfo Value to 22H2.

    If you reply to an IA using a different user they won't see your reply I believe. You need to use your original user during the thread.

    Thanks Ramesh,

    I've done option 2 and downloaded the .reg file of version 22H2. Hopefully it works!
