If you installed an update that is causing severe issues with your PC, you probably want to uninstall or remove it. So here we’ll show you 4 ways to remove & uninstall updates in Windows 10.<\/p>\n

Method 1: Uninstall Windows 10 Updates from Control Panel<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the Control Panel<\/a> in Large icons view, and then click Programs and Features<\/strong>.\n

    \"programs-and-features\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. Click View installed updates<\/strong> in the left pane.\n

    \"view-installed-updates\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. This displays all updates installed on the system. Select the update that you want to remove, and then click Uninstall<\/strong>.\n

    \"uninstall-windows-updates\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Method 2: Uninstall Windows 10 Updates from Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open Settings app by pressing the Windows key + I hotkey, or clicking Settings<\/strong> from the Start Menu.<\/li>\n
    2. Click Update and security<\/strong>.\n

      \"update-security\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. Click Windows Update<\/strong> on the left side, and click on the Advanced options<\/strong> link on the right side.\n

      \"advanced-update-options\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    4. Click the View your update history<\/strong> link to see all updates installed on your Windows 10 PC.\n

      \"view-update-history\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    5. Click the Uninstall updates<\/strong> link.\n

      \"uninstall-updates\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    6. This opens the Installed Updates window of Control Panel. Locate the problematic update and click Uninstall<\/strong>.\n

      \"uninstall-windows-updates\"\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Method 3: Uninstall Windows 10 Updates Using Command Prompt<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Open an elevated Command Prompt by pressing WIN + X keys and select “Command Prompt (Admin)<\/b>” from the Quick Access menu.\n<\/li>\n
      2. At the Command Prompt, type the following command to view all installed updates:
        \nwmic qfe list brief \/format:table<\/code><\/p>\n

        \"view-updates-via-cmd\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      3. To uninstall an update, you can use WUSA (a built-in Windows utility for managing Windows updates). For example, to uninstall the update KB3172729, you can type this command line and press Enter.
        \nwusa \/uninstall \/kb:3172729<\/code><\/p>\n

        \"uninstall-update-via-cmd\"\n<\/li>\n

      4. When you see the Windows Update Standalone Installer dialog box, click Yes<\/b> to confirm and it will uninstall your selected update.\n

        \"333\"\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Method 4: Uninstall Windows 10 Updates Using a Batch File<\/strong><\/p>\n

        If you want to uninstall multiple updates silently, you can create a batch script (.bat) to run the WUSA commands in the background, by adding \/quiet<\/strong> and \/norestart<\/strong> option. Change the KB number as needed.<\/p>\n

        @echo off
        \nwusa \/uninstall \/kb:3172729 \/quiet \/norestart
        \nwusa \/uninstall \/kb:3074686 \/quiet \/norestart
        \nEND<\/code><\/p>\n

        This will run the uninstall without any open windows, and will not prompt for a reboot. After all updates have been removed, you can restart the system manually, or set your computer to reboot automatically by adding the shutdown -r<\/strong> command to the end of the batch file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
