Are you able to turn it on for the 'Windows Insider Program', do an update to latest dev build, then opt out of 'Window Inside Program' and in turn disable 'Optional Diagnostic data' ? Genuinely asking, as I would like to test it but would like to keep diagnostics phoning back to M$ home to a min. if possible.

Friendly advice : never ever subscribe to Windows Insider dev builds. I’m stuck on it since I needed to work with WSL2 perversions.

There is currently no way to roll back from dev builds since it would mean to downgrade (which Windows can’t do). Even disabling reception of new builds is not working since they are either such far away from beta that you can’t switch before your build expired (and you don’t want your build to expire since it break Windows Update some weeks later) or those builds are « branches » that will never meet compatibility with any beta/stable build.

tl:dr; Being on Windows Insider dev channel is irreversible.
