How to uninstall a Windows 10 update: Uninstall from update history
1. Open 'Settings.' On the toolbar that runs along the bottom of your screen you should see a search bar on the left side. Just type 'Settings' into this and click the little cog icon when it appears in the search results.  

2. Select 'Update & Security.' From the Windows 'Settings' screen, select 'Update & Security.' If you have any trouble locating it, make use of the search bar at the top of the window.

3. Click 'View update history'. Now you’re in the 'Update & Security' menu, you need to click 'View update history,' which is located in the central list. You might need to scroll down slightly to find it. 

4. Click 'Uninstall updates'. You'll find this in the top-left corner of the 'View update history' window.

5. Select the update you wish to uninstall. The 'Uninstall updates' window will present you with a list of all recently installed updates to both Windows and any programs on your device. Just select the update you wish to uninstall from the list. 

You’ll be asked to confirm your choice before Windows does so, so make sure you definitely want to uninstall your chosen update. You may be prompted to restart your device after opting to uninstall a Windows update.  

6. (Optional) Note down the updates KB number. Next to the name of the update, you’ll see a Knowledge Base (KB) number in brackets. It can be useful to note this down for any update you wish to uninstall, especially if you end up having to uninstall an update via Advanced startup as outlined below.
