Kicked out of Windows Insider Program – Bug?

I’ve been enrolled in the Windows Insider Program all summer, running the Beta Channel build of Windows 11 in a virtual machine on my main desktop. I threw caution to the wind a week ago and enrolled my laptop into the Beta Channel. I like Windows 11 well enough over 10 and for me it was very stable and useable.

After the latest 184 build released this week, I noticed this morning I’ve been unenrolled from the Insider’s Program. I had flipped the “get me out when the product is complete” switch. I’m wondering if the unenrollment is a bug or if it’s a sign that the 184 build is the final one. When I go into Windows Update and look at the details, I’m still shown as being on an Insider’s Build.

Anyone else noticed this?

    <p>Just checked on my Beta SL4 and – yeah, I’m out as well. Guess keep an eye out for the next build release this week and see if they mention something about this.</p>

    <p>I question how much notice Microsoft takes of Insiders’ feedback. Since Gabe Aul left, it has deteriorated to, first, a "fashion show", and then a "silent running" experience, dominated by people unable to communicate. Therefore their listening capability must be suspect.</p>

    <p>What are the specs for the system? </p><p><br></p><p>They have started booting machines that don’t meet the requirements for Windows 11 off the preview.</p>

      <p>The virtual machine is running on a homebrew desktop, which uses an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with 32 gigs of RAM. My TPM 2.0 is enabled. The laptop is a two year old Asus, with a Core i7-9750H and 16 gigs of RAM. </p><p><br></p><p>I would have thought both would have made the cut.</p>

    <p>Looks like today’s build hit my machine that was pushed out of Insider so I guess we’re on the "next major release" at this point? Unless you want to hop back in I guess update as normal and treat the machine as a regular, non-Insider device.</p>
