How To Undo Windows Updates


Uninstall Windows Updates

Windows Update is a handy tool to ensure that you install critical updates to protect or improve the functionality of your computer, but sometimes an update that is installed may cause problems. What do you do then? Here's how to uninstall update packages and device drivers.

To remove updates, do the following:

  1. Click Start, Control Panel and click the Add/Remove Programs icon
  2. Select Change or Remove Programs.
  3. Locate the update that you want to uninstall, click it to highlight it, and then click Change/Remove.
To uninstall updated drivers, do the following:
  1. In Control Panel, click the System applet.
  2. Click the Hardware tab, then click Device Manager.
  3. Double click the device you need to go back to the previous driver.
  4. Click the Driver tab.
  5. Click Roll Back Driver.
Another way to undo the changes is to use System Restore, if you made a system restore point before the changes were made.
