    How do I undo the last Windows update?


    My old Dell laptop is WRECKED after the last windows update a couple of days ago. It was working fine the day before update. Now it has reverted to taking 20 - 25 minutes to boot. Within a few minutes of opening a browser - Brave or Firefox both display the message 'Not Responding'.

    Window Update Undoing changes made to your computer issue

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    In order to help you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, pleas reply with the details requested below:



    • Do you receive any error message after Windows update?
    • May I know after which update do you see this message?
    • When you say, “this message appear about half and hour" does the computer boot to the desktop?
    • What is the make and model of the computer?


    If the computer doesn’t boot to the Desktop, I would suggest you to refer the suggestions provided by DaveM121 replied on April 7, 2019 in the thread

    'Undoing changes made to your computer' in Windows 10    .



    If you are able to boot the computer to the Desktop, I would suggest you to run the

    Windows Update Troubleshooter     and see if that helps.



    If the issue persists, I would suggest you to reset Windows Update components. Kindly refer the article by Sumit on

    How to:Reset Windows update components in Windows    .



    You may also want to refer the steps mentioned in the article
    Troubleshoot problems updating Windows 10    .



    Note: While performing chkdsk on the hard drive if any bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk tries to repair that sector if any data available on that might be lost. Also, the last step in the article
    talks about Clean installation, please do not perform a clean installation of Windows.



    Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare

    How do I undo the last Windows update?

    Undo Update 2004

    I am running Windows 10 on a Microsoft Surface Go 2-in-1. When I clicked Update and Restart, it installed Version 2004 (OS Build 19041.630)
    The screens were as if I had just installed Windows 10. It gave me what would be Welcome to Windows 10 and Tips for how to use it. Windows Update History only gave me that update and no previous history.
    I am very nervous about how to Undo 2004.
    I think I was running 2019, OSBuild ?? I misplaced my System Log folder.
    Can you give me the steps to Undo 2004? Thanks, cb
