Rollback action running successfully but not uninstalling patches

Hi Guys,

The rollback action for Windows Updates is running and completing successfully… However it doesn’t uninstall any patch. What could be the possible reason?

Regards

I just ran this the other day and didn’t have any issues.

Are you sure the KB you are targeting is removable?

Hi Strawgate,

Yes the are removable. I was able to remove them manually. The only other thing I would need to check is if the condition somehow states that the action cannot be run on virtual machines.

Have any ever worked for you? Or is this the first time you’ve used the Rollback wizard?

Hi Sragate,

Initially I did test it once, I am going to test this on a physical device.

What is the KB you are trying to roll back?

Hi,

I’m trying to uninstall KB3054791 and it can’t be done - I received a huge error code.
I tried to run manually the code "wusa /uninstall /kb:3054791 /norestart " but the message is that the kb isn’t present - and it is!

Knowledge anyone?

I’ve noticed I’ve had a problem with using the rollback wizard to uninstall Office patches. Not sure why it doesn’t function the same way.

I managed to solve the issue using a batch file with the command to remove all related patches.
The issue of the KB being not present appears when that particular patch is not pushed with IEM/other patching tool but by adding patches within the image itself.
A note to myself and everyone interested to rollback any patch is that for example office patches can have multiple entries - they all must be removed!
Thanks.
