Mobile Hotspot Issues Dev Build 26120.2415

Is anyone else having issues creating a Mobile Hotspot on the latest build? I had no problems on release build, but after upgrading and using Vivetools to try unlock 6ghz (the option never appeared), I can no longer turn it on, it just automatically toggles back to off with "We can't set up mobile network"

So Recall finally appears on the Dev channel, but isn't available on Canary. Any idea when it will be?

When I got my Copilot+ laptop, I naively joined the Canary channel, expecting that I'd get new features earliest. But now Recall appears in the latest Dev build. Any idea when Recall will hit Canary, or do I need to wipe and start over on Dev?

Windows 11 Insider Release Preview Channel (24H2) - Updates Being Installed Twice?

I am enrolled in the Windows 11 Insider Release Preview Channel. After updating to 24H2 when a new preview build is installed, a week or so later the exact same build will be reinstalled. Information on the Windows Blog site for the build do not indicate that there have been any changes that would require the build to be reinstalled. I'm just curious if others are seeing this behavior as well.

The screenshot below shows the last three 24H2 preview builds being installed a second time a week or so after the initial update. The earliest one from 09/23 is right after I updated to 24H2. Prior to that 23H2 builds were only be installed once.

Okay...had to add the image in a separate post. For some reason it would not load with the original post.

Error 0x800f0984 When Installing Update KB5046617 on Windows Insider Build

Hi! I'm experiencing an issue with installing KB5046617 on my system, which is running (KB5044388) Windows 11 Insider Preview version 10.0.26120.961 (ge_release). When I try to install the update, I get error 0x800f0984.

I've already tried several known methods to fix the issue:

  • Cleared the SoftwareDistribution folder.
  • Run sfc /scannow and DISM commands.
  • Tried other solutions found online.

I was enrolled in the Windows Insider Program, but a few months ago, I opted out and switched to the stable version of Windows. However, I’m still running an Insider build (Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.26120.1930 (ge_release_upr)). My system is currently queued for unenrollment from the Insider Program.

Now that the update has been released, I can’t install it. Could you please advise what steps I should take or if there’s anything else I need to do to resolve this issue?

Thank you for your help!

When Will Beta Channel Be 24H2

I'm wanting to try out the new Passkey functionality, but the Beta Channel is stuck in 23H2. I wish it was moved to 24H2 or the new functionality shows up in 24H2 soon. Just saying in case "someone" sees this. (Microsoft).

How to Switch From Dev to Release Preview

Hello, I am a 1 year old windows insider user who was only using beta for first two months and then Release Preview For rest 10 Months. Later I got a windows 11 24h2 install option in windows settings so after to days i backup my files and install it. Then i open settings and checked the insider channel the Beta and Release preview were like slightly opaque and not able to select one channel and no channel was selected among one which i was in Release preview before installing 24h2. So i thought that microsoft just not released windows 11 24h2 Release Preview or Beta. But after 1 month when i open my laptop and checked the update it shows new version so i go to insider channel to check were Release Preview is ready But i found that it is automatically now in dev build.

  • I am currently i Dev Build
  • I was on Release preview on windows 11 23h2
  • My current os build is 26100.2314
  • I Recieved 10.0.26120.2222 (ge_release_upr) in windows update which i was downloaded or installed yet
  • It was Automatically switched between channels

Will i able to change to Release preview without reinstalling or using repair tool by just waiting for the Release preview bulid get more or upper version build number than current so i could install or just install windows using windows upgrade assistant from windows 11 24h2 download site

Upgrading Win 11 Pro Insider without TPM

I'm on a XPS 9570 32GB without TPM 2.0. I'm running:

Edition Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview
Version 23H2
Installed on ‎9/‎30/‎2023
OS build 25951.1010
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.25951.1010.0

The lack of TPM is keeping me from upgrading to the current preview build or the release version of Win 11. And, I'm getting the nag message...

Suggestions?

Stuck on Insider Program

Hello, I've been helping my friend troubleshoot his computer and for some reason it's stuck on Insider version from March. It's marked as leave with the next big update but it says there is no updates. He never downloaded insider so no idea why it's on it, but the big issue is that we're trying to leave it without data loss, is there anyway to fix it and just make it update out of the program?

He's stuck on build 26052.

Insider preview Build 27744

Tried build 27744 Canary today but uninstalled it because the problem with not being able to change settings inside Amd Adrenaline. When you try to set your own settings under Performance the program directly changes back to standard. It’s been like that for a long time in both Dev and Canary. I’d go back to preview build 26100.2161 where everything works.

Windows insider registering page - endless spinning

Hi,

Whem I'm not logged in, the page to register (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsinsider/) loads fine.

But when I log in, the page doesn't load anymore. Regardless of the browser or device.

I've seen many posts of people experiencing this but no solution posted. Anyone knows why and how to fix it please?

Thanks
