Can anyone give me a date or a rough date when the stable version is going to be released, because I'm having a nightmare on this beta? I'm never EVER joining a beta programme again.

      Basically when the Beta phase is complete with  issues considered to be sorted out.  it could be in a few weeks but nothing definitive.  You need to expect some Bugs in Betas but for me only been minor issues and I have a spare Device.

      You are completely free to rollback to 8.5 anytime you choose.

      It needs a complete factory reset and it's too much hassle. During every of the 5 beta stages I've had lots of problems. Apps that I use every day stop. My banking app won't open unless I force stop 2 apps that are for notifications. Beta 4 was the best one and I thought I could cope with just one or two hiccups but then 5 comes along and f...s it up good and proper. Never EVER again. Beta can do one.

      I can honestly say I haven't had any issues with any of the Beta versions.

      There’s no confirmed date for the stable release yet. We understand the frustration, especially when you’re experiencing issues during the beta. Hopefully the remaining testing and fixes will lead to a smoother stable release.

      Is it a ball ache to leave the beta program? And go back to stable 8.5?

      Very much so. You have to do a factory reset through Smart Switch on your PC.
