Windows 10: Is there any way to re-install W10 and keep programs without updating?

I am on 1803 and every single update has failed, it butchers the system and makes it largely inoperable. I have a hell of a lot installed and configured and really don't want to spend days getting it all set up again, is there any way to re-install without losing what I have set up?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

To get rid of the Windows 10 upgrade, I would suggest you to follow these steps:

• Go to control panel, then click on Programs and Features.
• Tap on View installed updates, then find the update called KB3035583.
• Now uninstall this update.

I hope this helps you. If you have any further queries, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help you.

Thank you.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
