Windows 10 Insider Settings Auto changing to Release Preview ring is a Bug, fixed by Microsoft

Windows Insiders who’re opted into the Slow or Fast ring on their Windows 10 devices have noticed their insider Program settings changed to “Release Preview” automatically without their knowledge and they can’t change them back. Don’t worry!  This is a bug that Microsoft has acknowledged and said it has fixed this. Meanwhile, if you’re affected, you can manually change to whichever ring you’re before by visiting insider ring Settings.

The issue has been already reported by an affected insider on Reddit.  “I’m trying to enable the fast ring on Microsoft insider preview settings, but this choice is not accepted. When I tried to choose this option it comes back to the third option called “Release Preview” Redditor says.

Microsoft has got you covered. Windows insider Engineering Program Manager, Eddie posted on answers forum that ” Hello Windows insiders! Some of you may have discovered today that your Windows Insider ring settings may have changed from either the Slow or Fast ring over to Release Preview and you can’t change them back. We’ve identified and resolved the issue that caused this, and your devices should return to their Previous ring next time you sync”.
