Windows 10: Rollback - How to revert to previous version of windows after 10 days

Our computers updated to V1903. Upon returning to work from being away we realized our printers are not working due to windows update. We are after the 10 day period of reverting back due to being out of town and now we can't do any printing... How do I get back to a previous version of windows so my hardware starts working again?

reverting to previous build/version

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I would appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down the issue.

• When the computer did froze? Is it when you tried to roll back?
• Did you receive any error message?

I suggest you to remove all the external devices plugged in to the computer and check if it helps to resolve the issue. If the issue persists, please restart the computer and check whether it rolled back or not. If it loads Windows 10,
I suggest you to download the latest ISO of Windows 10 and perform automatic repair.

Steps to perform repair:

a) Insert the installation DVD or USB
and boot Windows 8 from it.

b) In the ‘Windows setup’ page select the language to install’, ‘Time and currency format’ and the ‘keyboard or input method’ and click on ‘next’.

c) Click on ‘Repair your computer’ and select ‘Troubleshoot’.

d) Click on ‘Advanced options’ and select ‘Automatic Repair’ and select the operating system.


If you really would like to rollback, I suggest you to refer the below article on How to go back to the previous operating system (Windows 7/8.1) from Windows 10.

Revert to previous version windows 10

Hi Cheryl,

If you are experiencing multiple issues during the installation of a new feature update, or right after it was installed, you have the option to go back to its previous version. Follow these steps to rollback to your previous Windows version and build:

• Press Windows key + I.
• Click Update & security.
• Select Recovery.
• Click on the Get started button under Go back to an earlier build section. The process will start and you will be asked some questions for information purposes.

For detailed instructions and additional procedures on how you can perform this option, see this forum article:
