Windows 10: 20H2 Installed Twice Here and Twice Removed Because 20H2 Is Not Stable

This Dell PC and Windows 10 20H2 refuse to live together. Today I tried to login to a WatchGuard VPN. No soap. After trying without success to remove the latest Windows Updates hours expended with actual refusals to remove, I decided to restore from a disk image that I made about a month ago. All is right with the world. This tells me something about 20H2: Avoid it if you can. Here's a question, since I am supposed to Ask a Question: Why?

Update 20h2

Hi Wicki,

I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 3 year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

20H2 should not be installed right-away on your device - MS said the rollout is only to a fraction of users and would be labeled as an optional update initially. Are you enrolled in WIP?

You may uninstall 20H2 using the steps below:

Installing 20H2 update

Hi Syed

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

As always, installing any Insider build does come with some possibility that your PC could not work correctly or even crash.

The Beta channel is more stable than the Dev Channel, so that build may be stable on your PC, though with a feature update like 20H2 I would wait for that to appear on the Release Preview Channel
