Hi, I'm running windows 11 with Windows insider on it in Dev mode and want to get out of the insider program, instead of doing a clean install to stop using the insider program can I just use one of my older images files I saved and reload that back in?

- Open Windows Update / Update history / Uninstall updates:
- Locate installed enablement packages and uninstall those beginning newest one until build is 22621
- Open open regedit (push Win key and type regedit).
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost
- On left panel right click that key and delete it.
- Close regedit and restart (may require two restart)
