Inside Manage preview builds, select the Enabled radio button, and apply. (Under the Options section's Enable preview builds dropdown, you can also prevent installation on selected devices or set it to stop Insider Preview builds once a release is public.)Note: If you configure this setting to Disabled, the Windows Insider page settings for "Get started" will be greyed out for users so they cannot optin to Windows Insider program

I'm seeing the same problem. I just got a new 7th gen ThinkPad X1. Out of the box, windows hello + 1Password worked. I am a developer and want to use the WSL2 stuff so I updated to windows insider builds. After that, windows hello works fine for the system but 1Password has the option grayed out. I have removed face and fingerprint to reset it and no change.

To unenroll your device properly you need to choose the first option and you need to turn on the toggle button, this option will stop the insider preview build updates until the next major update. But recently many users were reported that they are facing Unenroll this device option is greyed out. There are unable to choose the Unenroll this device when the next version of Windows releases option, this option is greyed out. Follow the below-mentioned steps to fix this issue.

Unfortunately, some users encountered issues when switching from the Dev Channel to the Beta Channel. People report missing insider channels in Windows Settings on Windows 11. Instead of displaying your account and available rings, Windows 11 shows only the "Stop getting preview builds" button. Microsoft is aware of the problem and has already provided a solution. Here is how you can fix missing options in Windows 11.

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability, I changed Branchname from external to rs1_release, then created UserPreferredBranchName and set it to rs1_release. Then the windows insider tab changed to give my options for kind of content and pace of content (which were missing before). I set those to active development and fast pace, and checked for updates. It then started downloading the latest preview release.

Microsoft recently started notifying users in the Windows Insider Program that the upcoming Windows 11 builds in the Dev channel are about to get less stable. As a result, the Redmond giant recommended users currently in the Dev channel switch to the Beta channel. However, as per recent reports, some Windows Insider users are stuck in the Dev channel and cannot switch to the Beta channel.For those unaware, Microsoft will start testing early development builds of Windows 11 in the Dev channel, as it usually does. So, Windows Insiders in the Dev channel will start receiving builds that are less stable and more buggy than the current ones.So, in a recent official email to Insiders, Microsoft informed them about the change and suggested they switch to the Beta channel to get more stable builds ahead of its potential public release in October.However, as per an initial report by Italian media house HTNovo, some Windows Insiders are stuck in the Dev channel as they cannot switch to the Beta channel from the Windows Update Settings. The option to switch to the Beta channel in Windows 11 is greyed out for some users. So, without the necessary options to switch to the Beta channel, Insiders are now trapped in the Dev channel.Image Courtesy: HTNovoThe report also suggests an old trick to switch Insider channels by manually changing them via the Windows registry function. In that case, Microsoft is switching the Dev channel to the Release Preview channel instead of the Beta channel for Insiders. So, if you are facing a similar issue, unfortunately, there are no solutions to this as of now.VIAMSPowerUser#Tags#Windows 11Beebom StaffBringing the latest in technology, gaming, and entertainment is our superhero team of staff writers.
