Windows 10 insiders to RTM

How do I get out of the Insider to the RTM version?

I had to roll back the last update because of no sound and display issues. It seemed like there was a blue tint to everything.

The display driver was saying windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (code 43). This is on a Ryzen 2400g.

The display driver was dated 7 something 2018. After the rollback, it is dated 10/30/2018.

Why would an update go and downgrade the display driver?

But the version numbers are the same.

And sometimes when I booted up, it was just a black screen.

But now everything works fine. But I never had a brightness option.

    <p>While the next version of Windows 10 is being developed, you can't really: You can just switch to the Slow ring. </p><p><br></p><p>You can only do this during the magic window period I always write about without any issues. </p><p><br></p><p>You kind of get what you get when you're on a beta, obviously.</p>

        <blockquote><em><a href="#397514">In reply to lordbaal1:</a></em></blockquote><p>That is why you never put a beta on a live system, just on dedicated test equipment.</p>

Keep the current production build as the host OS, put the Insider builds in a VM as guest OS.</p>

        <blockquote><em><a href="#397514">In reply to lordbaal1:</a></em></blockquote><p>Yes. The only real way out (immediately) is a clean install of the RTM version.</p>
