Windows 10: Unable to Uninstall Windows 11 KB5026372 Security Update.

I am unable to uninstall KB5026372. I have attempted to uinstall it by going to windows update> update history> uninstall updates and then clicking uninstall update. Along with that I have also attempted to use a solution I found from this question since it seemed like they were having the same issue as me but it did not work. I am on windows 11. Here is the link to the other solution they had me try but it did not work. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-update-kb5026372-wont-uninstall/be717e2d-adfe-45f9-b43f-c54f0b0491c5

Windows 11; how to prevent KB5026372 from installing

Hello,

The recent security update KB5026372 for Windows 11 somewhat breaks L2TP connections. By breaks I mean that KB5026372 reduces throughput over the L2TP connection dramatically, making it unusable. This was determined by uninstalling KB5026372, after which the L2TP connection throughput returned to a useable level.

I have paused updates for a week in the hopes that either Microsoft has received other reports about this problem and patches KB5026372 to reflect this or I can figure out a way of blocking this specific update from installing. I've tried using the Show and Hide updates tool from Microsoft and it doesn't work in this instance.

Is there such thing as an update blacklist that I can enable/update via the registry or other method to prevent this update from installing?

Thank you.

I installed latest update KB5026372 on 5/9/23. My internet speed slowed down from 152 Mbps to 76 Kbps. I went through the uninstall process, but before it finished, during the restart it said it is installing updates, and it looks like that update is back. Help! running Win 11 (64 bit)
