    Hi G H O S T,

    Based on the information you shared, it appears that your device was previously enrolled in the Canary Channel but is now showing the Dev Channel, which may be preventing the latest Canary build from being offered.

    Please try the following:

    1. Go to Settings > Windows Update > Windows Insider Program and confirm which channel is currently selected.
    2. Sign out of your Insider account, restart the PC, then sign back in.
    3. Run winver and note your current build number.
    4. Go to Settings > Windows Update and select Check for updates.

    If the issue continues, please share:

    • Your current Windows build number
    • Any Windows Update error code displayed
    • Whether the device is managed by a work or school organization

    This information can help determine whether the issue is related to Insider channel enrollment or update availability.
