    Installer folder cleanup. Clean msp & msi patches marked as superseded

    There's no info in your link without crating an account. Or at least for me content is hidden.

    Consider this:

    PatchCleaner - safely clean your windows installer directory | homedev - software development out of the box

    Note warnings here:

    Download PatchCleaner - MajorGeeks

    It is best to use the "move the files to another drive" option just in case.

    how can you remove Windows 10 Anniversary Update completely without fresh install?

    Hello,

    What are the steps you have followed to roll back to the previous build?

    I would suggest you to follow the below steps and check if you are still facing any issues.

    To uninstall the Anniversary Update:


    • Open the Settings app.

    • Select Update & security and then the Recovery tab.

    • Under “Go back to an earlier build”, click the Get started button and follow the instructions.

    (Note: If more than 10 days have elapsed since installing the Anniversary Update or the “Go back” option is otherwise not available; we ask for your patience until a patch can be released.)

    Thanks!

  10. Add "Run as administrator" to MSP files

    in Windows 10 Customization
    Add "Run as administrator" to MSP files: This question can be asked for MSI files as well, so we can say that doing so for MSI files is also useless, since eventually we'll get to the Admin mode when needed even if we don't run MSI files as Admin!
