Windows 10: I am having trouble removing update KB 5043145.

It freezes programs and has been forcing me to power off/on to reset many, many times. I read one post on this topic, and it recommended a show/hide troubleshooter. I ran it but it reported no problems found. How do I remove this unwanted update KB5043145?

can Ms Engineers able remove KB updates from Microsoft backend

Hello Sivaram Nunna，



Welcome to the Microsoft Community！



According to your description, you don't seem to want to use your current KB update. I understand how you feel.

In order to further understand your problem, I need some details to better analyze and solve the problem. Please share the following information with me if it is convenient for you:

• Can you share with us your specific problem situation? For example, you encountered a special situation after installing an update.
  
• In addition, if you share with us the KB number you want to delete, perhaps we can test and retrieve similar reports and feedback based on your version. Steps to check the Windows Update KB version:
  
  Search for "Settings" in the Windows search box --- Open Settings ---Windows Update---Uninstall upadtes--- Check the KB number of the updated version you installed.
  

If you want to remove the KB update, we don't have permission to remove the update in the backend, but you can try the following steps yourself:

Please check whether the system update installed in your desktop computer is a security update, because security updates cannot be uninstalled. If not, then you can try the uninstall update steps:

• Search for "Settings" in the Windows search box --- Open Settings ---Windows Update---Uninstall upadtes--- and double-click your most recent Windows system update --- Confirm deletion
  
• Then pause the update in the settings. Windows will launch 2 new versions within 35 days. After 35 days, Windows will automatically start Windows Update to overwrite the current version. This incompatibility issue is skipped.
  
• Start Menu --- Settings --- Windows Update --- Select the amount of time to pause (up to 35 days)
  
  Note: When the suspension limit is reached (35 days), the latest update needs to be installed before the update can be paused again
  

If the KB version is a security update, it is unfortunate that it cannot be uninstalled due to system limitations and other reasons, but you can try to restore the system to the state before installing the update by using the restore point method, and then run the shadow update tool to temporarily avoid the update.

• To restore to the system restore point, you can refer to the "System Restore Point Restore" section at the bottom of this document. The link is as follows:
  
  Recovery options in Windows - Microsoft Support
  
• After completing the recovery, try to run the Shadow Treasure update steps, click the following connection, and then follow the operation prompts to complete the installation:
  
  http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/2/2/F22D5FDB-59CD-4275-8C95-1BE17BF70B21/wushowhide.diagcab
  

Hope this helps,please feel free to reply me if anything is unclear or if there are any further updates, thanks.
