OfflineInsiderEnroll

Description

OfflineInsiderEnroll is a simple Windows Command Prompt script to enable access to the Windows Insider Program on machines not signed in with Microsoft Account.

This script is compatible only with Windows 10 RS5 and later.

Usage

This script requires administrative priviliges to run. You can simply execute it by right clicking it > Run as Administrator.

Installation and configuration changes

After starting the script offers selection of Windows Insider Program rings. To make a selection, press a letter coresponding to option you choose and 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 which is required by Windows Insider Program.

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.

Restoring Windows Insider Program to default options

To restore Windows Insider Program to default settings simply choose Stop receiving Insider Preview builds in OfflineInsiderEnroll. You will get prompted to reboot, because this option will disable Microsoft Flight Signing.

How does this work?

This script 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 the registry.
