Hi Barry,

If you are on the Dev Channel 26300

you should be offered an update that

takes you to 26300.9032 and updates

the expiry.

All Insider builds the expiry has been

updated now.

    Hi Michael,

    Delete this Registry Key and see if

    you get the options back.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost

    Hi Michael,

    Your post says you're on Dev, but

    the build you're on is Canary.

    Please double check your Insider

    Channel settings to see if they're

    correct. If indeed you're on Canary,

    go here and get the ISO for 29639

    and do an in place update.
