I have the update but I have some funny things going on so I tried to uninstall it but I keep getting this message: An error has occurred. Not all updates were successfully uninstalled. What's next?

KB4524244 Security update for Windows 10 - February 11 Win Update

This looked like a 2 step process. IT never appeared yesterday, but when I powered the desk top this AM, there it was. I noticed on my other 2 systems, it required a restart to get the second KB (KB4524244).

I have a system image prior to the Patch Tuesday CU, so we’ll see.

Update: Ran the uninstall of KB4524244 from the Installed Updates page and of course, it did not uninstall. Will recover from the last System Image I have. More wasted time maintaining W10. Thanks bunches MS.

2nd Update: So if one isn't running Kaspersky software, are you at risk with this KB installed?

3rd Update: I did another power off & boot up. The Control Panel display of installed programs does not list KB4524244 now. Yes, it's still in the Update History list on the Windows Update History page. I'm guessing the update has been removed from my system. Gotta love Windows as a service!
