How to Uninstall Windows Updates as Administrator Using CMD on a User's Computer without Privileges for any Uninstallation.
As an administrator, you can uninstall a Windows update for a user by running Command Prompt or PowerShell as an administrator and using the wusa /uninstall /kb:[KB number] command, replacing [KB number] with the update's specific ID.
You can list all installed updates using wmic qfe list brief /format:table to find the correct KB number, then proceed with the uninstall command and confirm the action when prompted.
Step 1: Open an elevated command prompt or PowerShell
Click the Start menu.
Type cmd or powershell.
Right-click the result and select Run as administrator.
Step 2: List all installed updates
In the elevated command prompt or PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter: wmic qfe list brief /format:table.
Review the output to find the HotFixID (which is the KB number) of the update you want to uninstall.
Step 3: Uninstall the update
In the same administrative prompt, type the uninstall command, replacing [KB number] with the specific ID you found in the previous step. For example, to uninstall update KB5023696, you would type: wusa /uninstall /kb:5023696.
Press Enter. A dialog box will appear asking you to confirm.
Click Yes or press Y to continue with the uninstallation.
Once the process is complete, restart the computer to apply the changes.
