I am on Insider preview version 17134.5, release preview ring. What's the easiest way to get out of IP and be on the stable build of April 2018?

Clean install.

17134.5 is the latest stable build, the release build will likely be 17134.1 with an immediate WU to complete, I would just stay on the Release Preview build It will not make any difference until the 1809 release.

You should be able to exit the program once the release is official, of course you may find that coming out of the program will delay any future builds if you re-join later

My apologies, I should have been more clear. I meant without clean install.

So after the official release I can exit IP and would still get the CUs through WU in future, right? Thanks btw

I'm not sure if one can leave IP without complete reinstall, at least it was like that before.

The Release Preview works through Windows Update anyway, the only difference is that everything is slightly speeded up - Eg. If microsoft decides to release an update on a particular Friday, the Release Preview get it a few days earlier, in this imaginary case likely the monday previously.

There is not the issue that there is in the Fast and Slow rings, ( where you are running a beta OS so need to replace this to leave), as you always run an official public release so should be able to leave anytime the official release matches yours which is anytime except the few days between the early release and the official release.

Technically this should also be possible if on the Fast or slow Ring and the current version turns out to be the RTM - but there is also the case of any potential debugging code that is present in the Fast/Slow ring build, so Microsoft insist on the Fresh install, for build stability reasons

Yes, one can OPT-out of Insider Programme at any time.

Not sure, but I think what Mike means is once it has forked away from the public release, a re-install would be required. Such as this 17134 going to 17142 or something. Once at 17142 (example only), opting out would require a clean install of SCU.

That's how it was before.
