Insider Switch
InsiderSwitch is a simple Windows
executable that enables access to the
Windows Insider Program on computers
that aren't signed in with Microsoft Account
## 📝 Usage guide
[](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/utsanjan)
[](https://github.com/utsanjan/Tsunami-Bomber-Android/blob/main/LICENSE)
Just run the program by double clicking on it
and choose your preferred option in the prompt.
Click the button below to download InsiderSwitch.
## ⚙️ Installation and configurations
After starting the program it offers with the options to
select the version of *Windows Insider Program* channels.
To make a selection, press the respective option no. & press enter.
If the machine was not enrolled to the Insider Program, you will get
prompted to restart your machine to enable *Microsoft Flight Signing*.
**🔴 Notice:** Windows Insider Program requires telemetry to be set to *Full*.
After enrolling your machine to the *Windows Insider Program* please make sure
that your diagnostic data collection settings are set to *Full*. Some *Insider
Preview* builds may not get offered in *Windows Update* if you do not have
correct telemetry settings. You can verify or modify your telemetry settings in
*Settings* > *Privacy* > *Diagnostics & feedback*.
## ⚡ Restore to default
To restore *Windows Insider Program* to default settings
just choose `Unenroll Insider Preview` in InsiderSwitch.
You will get prompted to reboot, press Y and then enter.
## 🧭 How it works
This program takes advantage of undocumented `TestFlags` registry value.
If this value is set to `0x20`, all access to online *Windows Insider* services
gets disabled. Because of this, we can set our own *Windows Insider Preview*
configuration without being overriden by the contact to the service. Since
Windows Update does not check if machine is actually enrolled to the program,
you will get offered *Insider Preview* builds by just setting correct values in registry.
