Rumor! Do not modify the Win10 registry or you will not be able to get new updates

In recent weeks, there has been a technique on the Internet that allows you to see new versions that have not yet been released by modifying the Windows 10 registry. Now, this method has proven to be harmless.

Gabriel Aul, director of Microsoft Windows Insider project, pointed out on official Twitter that if you modify the registry by online method, you will not be able to get future versions. “ Note that if you do this for Windows 10, it is equivalent to turning off the ability to get updates. ”

If you have already modified the registry key, you can fix it according to the method provided by Microsoft:

You can use these commands and manage the command prompt (Windows Key + X, Select Command Prompt (Admin)):

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\WindowsSelfHost\\Applicability" /v "BranchName" /d "fbl_release" /t REG_SZ /freg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\ SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\WindowsSelfHost\\Applicability" /v "ThresholdRiskLevel" /d "low" /t REG_SZ /freg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\WindowsSelfHost\\Applicability" /v "ThresholdInternal" /freg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\WindowsSelfHost\\Applicability" /v "ThresholdOptedIn" /f

After performing the repair, your system will be back to normal and you will receive future updates.
