I am a Windows Insider Preview user (despite requesting to opt out of this feature).
It has installed a beta version of Windows 26H2
I am getting notifictions on my laptop that there are Windows updates available but these are for 25H2 (technical support to ages to discover this glitch).
- What do I now do as far as updates are concerned?
- If I cannot leave the Windows insider program, will this issue be fixed when the full verion of 26H2 is released?
- Is my laptop compromised in performance in any way due to this beta install?
- Is there a way to get back to 25H2 without a clean re-install?
