Cannot unenroll from Beta

My laptop has macOS Ventura Beta 13.2. I'd like to uninstall from the Beta program, and have it simply run Ventura 13.1. Apple's instructions say to go to System Settings / General / Software Update and Click the 'Details…' button next to 'This Mac is enrolled in the Apple Beta Software Program.'


Unfortunately, none of that appears.


So how do I leave the Beta program and install Ventura 13.1?

FWIW, you can try restarting to see if the "Details" button emerges. In any case, you are better off waiting for the release of 13.2. Once you unenroll from the beta program you would need to create a Ventura 13.1 bootable installer, boot your Mac from it, erase and install Ventura, then migrate your data from your Time Machine backup, assuming you have one.

if necessary—


To make a bootable installer, see links to macOS—

Backups—there are more than one option besides TimeMachine to restore your User data, but TM is easy:


—Back up your Mac Back up your Mac with Time Machine - Apple Support

— How to create a boot clone How to create a boot clone - Apple Community


iCloud is more of a sync service



I will add—If you value your user data

3-2-1 Backup Strategy: three copies of your data, two different methods, and one offsite.

More than one device, more than one backup methodology.
