    Uninstall updates from Windows Settings.

    The Settings app allows you to view and uninstall all Windows 11 updates that have been installed. It is quite simple.

    • Press Windows key+ I to open the Settings directly.
    • Select the Windows Update from the left panel.

    Select windows update

    • You can now view all the Windows 11 updates installed on your PC.
    • To uninstall an update, scroll down and select ‘Uninstall updates‘ at the bottom.

    Choose Uninstall updates

    • It will open a new window with all updates. Select the one you wish to remove, then click on the ‘Uninstall’ button at the top.

    • Finally, click ‘Yes’ on the confirmation box that pops up to complete the process.
    • The update will be uninstalled, and if prompted, restart the computer to complete the process.

    Uninstall Windows Updates using Command Prompt

    Command Prompt is a convenient and quick way for users to perform tasks on the system. You can uninstall Windows updates using an elevated Command Prompt with just a few commands.

    • Type cmd on the Search menu and click on Run as administrator. Click “Yes” on the UAC box.

    Type cmd on the search menu

    • Type or paste the following command and hit Enter key. This command will display a list of Windows updates that have been installed on your computer.
    • “wmic qfe list brief /format:table”

    Paste the command

    • Each update will be assigned a HotFixID. Write down the HotFixID for the update you wish to remove.

    Note hotfixid

    • Next, please type or paste the following command and hit the Enter key. This command uninstalls the update.
    • “wusa /uninstall /kb:HotFixID”

    Type hotfixid

    Warning:- Replace “HotFixID” with the name of the update you wish to remove from the command. Since ‘kb” has already been added, ensure that you only enter the numeric portion of the ID in this command. For example, we substituted ‘HotFixID” with “5006363”.
