Use System Restore or roll back to a previous version of Windows 10.
You're facing issues with a Windows update and wondering if you can revert it to an earlier version before installing the latest one from the catalog. Here are some steps you might try:
- Check if your system meets the minimum requirements for the new update.
- Use the built-in Windows Update settings to roll back the update (Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update).
- If available, download the previous version of the update from the Microsoft Store or your device's settings.
- Consider using a system restore point if you have one.
- Backup important files before making changes.
Let me know if you need more details!
Hey, if I were careful enough to save a restore point before each update, I wouldn't be here now. Maybe I should start setting up automatic restore points after updates going forward for better protection.
You mentioned "roll back" a lot—it’s what System Restore does. Honestly, I never turned it on. It’s only been recently that I gave in, mainly because of Microsoft’s limited internal testing now.
Thank you all. I'll definitely turn on the auto Restore to backup Drive feature.
