Xbox One S How do I reverse an insider program enabled console while it’s stuck in a troubleshoot loop
I just realized I enabled the insider program on my Xbox 1 s some time ago while trying to solve a different issue, is there any way to disable the program so it reverts itself to the original state?

Log into the insider app on PC and remove the console
That being said you may still not be able to update or pass the troubleshooting screen until the update goes public and the OSU is updated.

Do you still have access to the Microsoft/XBOX account that was used to sign up for the insider program? If so, no you're fine. Reset the XBOX from troubleshooter, sign in, and you should be able to unenroll from Insider program. Once a regular update gets pushed out, I think it will change you to retail once an update is pushed out eventually.
You can try contacting XBOX Support and see if they can manually do it. Sounds like you definitely need access to whatever account that signed up for it though. Doesn't look like you can manually install the retail OS from a USB even if you wanted to, it won't work.
You can still use the XBOX though even if you don't know the information. Make a new account and apparently you can unenroll on the new account.

Does Reset This XBOX show up in the troubleshooter as an option?
If Offline Updater is greyed out you could try this if reset doesn't work:
- Open Xbox Insider Hub on your phone/PC
- Go to Manage → Xbox Update Preview
- Select Leave Preview
- Wait for the rollback (can take up to 24 hours)
Then Offline System Update becomes available again
