Windows 10 Now Automatically Uninstalls Updates That Cause Problems

Don’t worry.

Microsoft has addressed this issue by adding a safety measure
that would from now onwards automatically uninstall buggy software
updates installed on your system if Windows 10 detects a startup
failure, which could be due to incompatibility or issues in new
software.

A new document
published by Microsoft on Monday, a day before this month’s Patch
Tuesday, says just like Windows “automatically installs updates to
keep your device secure and running at peak efficiency,” the OS
will now run another automatic process to uninstall problematic
updates.

From now on, if you receive the following notification on your
device, that means your Windows 10 computer has recently been
recovered from a startup failure.

Also in the meantime, Microsoft and its partners can investigate
the issue and fix it before the update is delivered to the user
again after 30 days.

For Windows 10 users who believe that the updates in question
should not have been uninstalled, Microsoft allows them to manually
install driver or quality updates.

However, the tech giant noted that if those updates manage to
stop your system from starting up properly even after automatic or
manual installation, Windows will uninstall them again.

At last, Microsoft also asked Windows users to share their
feedbacks using the Feedback Hub so that the company can diagnose
and remediate the issues with these updates and work on a fix
accordingly.

This new safety measure, which comes in action as of today,
would definitely help a lot of Windows users deal with problematic
updates and associated issues. Let’s see how this new system goes
as Microsoft is set to roll out the March Patch Tuesday security
updates in just a few hours.
