Windows 10 will automatically uninstall Windows updates that cause startup failures due to incompatibility or issues in new software according to a support document published by Microsoft.
Windows updates will be automatically removed when Windows detects that it has recovered from a startup failure after all other “automatic recovery attempts have been unsuccessful.”
In addition, as a countermeasure for future issues caused by the uninstalled updates, Windows will also blacklist them from installing during the next 30 days.
Microsoft has said that Windows 10 will start removing installed Windows Updates that cause problems in starting or running your device at peak efficiency. Windows Updates which fail dues to software incompatibilities will get automatically uninstalled.
After your computer has recovered from a startup failure, you may see this notification in the bottom left corner of your computer screen:
However, as Microsoft points out, “If your device is unable to start up properly after automatic or manual installation of these updates, Windows will uninstall them again.”
Users can also help Redmond fix issues with problematic Windows updates by submitting their feedback with the help of the Feedback Hub app.
