I am using Windows 10 build 21390 (May 2021).

I believe I have the Windows Insider Program disabled.

However, Windows Update keeps downloading, and wanting me to install, Windows 11 Insider Preview builds.

Any idea how I can stop this?

As Windows 11 is still in the test phase and no official release is published, Insider Version are the only ones available.
If you have left the Insider program you are required to reinstall Windows 10. At least as far as I know...

You were in the Dev Insider's Channel on Windows 10. It seems you chose not to install the first release to the Dev channel of Win11 when it was offered, as it was optional. But you failed to leave the program at that time. Since it's already begun to download 100, it will keep trying to do so, and now you only have two options: Delay it for up to a week, and then accept your fate... or do a full re-install of Windows 10.
