Current approach / workaround

  • The current workaround is to rollback the latest Microsoft Windows security update or defer the update.

  • How to Defer or Remove the Update:

    If the update has not yet been installed, you can defer it via: Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options and pause updates for up to five weeks.

    For managed environments, block the update via WSUS approval policies or Intune update rings.

    If the update has already been installed, it can be removed via:

    • Settings > Windows Update > Update history > Uninstall updates, or

    • Elevated Command Prompt: wusa /uninstall /kb:#######
