Uninstall Windows Update using Command Prompt

by . Leave a Comment

You can uninstall Windows update using Command Prompt:

uninstall: wusa /uninstall /kb:[id]

If you want to remove KB5001330, use the command uninstall: wusa /uninstall /kb:5001330
Type “Y” when asked to restart the PC and finish the uninstallation.
If you want to automatically restart the computer after the update is removed, you can use the following command instead:

wusa /uninstall /kb:[id] /quiet

If you want to get a prompt asking you to restart the computer, use the following command instead:

wusa /uninstall /kb:[id] /quiet /promptrestart

If you don’t want to restart the computer after removing the patch, use the following command:

wusa /uninstall /kb:[id] /quiet /norestart

Note that you must restart the computer manually to properly remove the patch. The above command will only delay the process and system reboot is still mandatory.

What is the different between SATA 3 vs NVMe?

  • SATA 3 – An older protocol (can operate on IDE or AHCI)
  • NVMe – A protocol that lets data be read and written via PCIe
  • M.2 – Not a protocol but just a physical form factor (SATA M.2, NVMe M.2, etc…)

SATA 3 – Data cable and Power cable are needed to connect to the motherboard and SSD

NVMe – SSD to have its data read straight from a PCIe slot right on the motherboard, the drive draws power directly through the motherboard
