Welcome to our guide on how to uninstall Windows 10’s October 2020 Update. If you’ve encountered any issues with this update and want to revert back to your previous version, we’ve got you covered. We’ll walk you through the process step by step.
Important Point 1: Rolling Back the October 2020 Update
If you upgraded to Windows 10 20H2 (October 2020 Update) from Windows 10 1909 or an earlier version, the update will be installed as a full update. This means that you can only roll back within 10 days of installation. However, if you were using Windows 10 2004, the October 2020 Update is installed as an “activation package” that enables features already present in the operating system. The method for uninstalling the update depends on the previously installed version.
Important Point 2: Uninstalling Based on Previous Version
If your computer was already running the May 2020 Update (version 2004), you can uninstall the October 2020 Update by following the same steps you would use to remove a monthly update. On the other hand, if you’re running an older version like the November 2019 Update (version 1909), you’ll need to use the recovery setting. Don’t worry, we’ll show you how to go back to the previous version without losing your files.
