The company keeps certain options concealed. Attempting to turn on Telemetry and automatic updates didn't produce any results.
Check if your Microsoft account is linked to the program. Local accounts aren't allowed. https://insider.windows.com/en-us/getting-started
You're likely connected to a company-managed system (like domain join, AzureAD, or business services) or have previously used tools for tracking device data or ensuring software updates automatically.
In the Group Policy Editor, navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update For Business - Double Click Manage Preview Builds > Toggle Enabled > Choose “Enable Preview Builds” from the list. This action will replace any conflicting local settings if telemetry is active as you mentioned.
Ensure the section is labeled "Optional" in Settings > Privacy > Diagnostics & feedback. Set feedback frequency to "Automatically" at the bottom of the page.
You clicked "optional," left, and then reopened—it returned to the basic version. Ugh...
I didn’t modify Windows directly, but a tool could monitor it and adjust privacy settings. It’s possible a program tracks changes and prevents them, and you should review any active services.
