How to Go Back to an Earlier\u00a0Build in Windows 10<\/h1>\n

You may want to return to a earlier build of Windows 10 if a major update causes you major problems. Rolling back to an earlier\u00a0build of Windows 10 is only possible after a major update (like the “Anniversary update”): minor updates can be uninstalled.<\/p>\n

The faster you act after a major update the more likely you’ll be successful restoring an earlier “build” of Windows 10, without losing any personal files or programs.<\/p>\n

The first thing you should do if a major Windows 10 Update causes you MAJOR problems is this:<\/p>\n

1. Press Start —>Settings (Or press the Windows Key + I )
\n2. Click on “Update & Security”
\n3. In “Update & Security” click on “Recovery”
\n4. In Recovery you should have 3 options “Reset this PC”, “Go back to an earlier build” and “Advanced startup”<\/p>\n

\nIf you don’t see “Go back to an earlier build” as one of your choices then:<\/p>\n

a.) The update was not a major update<\/p>\n

b.) Too much time has passed since the major update was installed<\/p>\n

If you see the option but it’s not clickable, then you waited too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have minor problems with other updates (not major updates) you can uninstall the update by doing the following:<\/p>\n

1. Click Start — Settings.
\n2. In Settings, click on Update & security
\n3. In Update & security, click on Windows Update
\n4. In Windows Update, click on Advanced Options
\n5. In Advanced Options, click on View your update history.
