how to resolve " your build of window will expire soon"

Question

I have using window 11 home, and I enrolled in window insider preview though beta channel.
my window is activated with a digital license linked to my Microsoft account.
when I switched on laptop (realme book slim) , a window popped up showing message " your build of window will expire on 15 September 2024. you should move to new build as soon as possible".
in window updates section, its showing "you are up to date" that means there is no update available to install.

Answer 1

Since you have build 26100.1742 you can leave Insier program by deleting WindowsSelfHost key from registry.

This will lave you rather stable preview of Windows 11 v24H2 which is be released to public later this year, but it will get monthly cumulative updates on patch Tuesdays (Second Tuesday of month).

1. Open open regedit (push Win key and type regedit).
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost
3. On left panel right click that key and delete it.
4. Close regedit and restart.
5. Check your insider settings to see that its out of Insider Program.
6. Check for updates to get latest C.U.

If you are having this issue in 2026, refer to these articles:

No. There is no action needed on your side to resolve the “Your Windows Build will expire soon message”this Build of Windows will expire soon” message, since for most of the channels, the Build with updated expiry date isn’t released by Microsoft.

Answer 2

Why not just download the latest Canary Insider build ISO for 27718 or 26100.1150 for the Dev channel from the official Microsoft Insider page located here:

Your share required permission to open!

Which channel you are and which build you have installed? Curent Beta build doesn't have expire date.

Push Win -key and type winver.

Answer 4

You have very old Beta build whch shoud have been moved automatic to Dev long time ago. First thing you can try is to change to Release Preview channel and check for updates to ger version 24H2 build 26100.xxxx

If that doesn't work then you can to do in-palce update to build 26100.1150'

Download release Preview channel ISO 26100.1150

Download Windows Insider Preview ISO (microsoft.com)

When download is completed mount that ISO (double click or right click and select mount). This will open ISO to new virtual disk. On that disk run setup.exe tor start in-palce update.

If that fails also then reply and we can see other options.
