How do i uninstall update that it cant find?

Couple days ago I had a power failure. After power was restored pc started acting weird. It was real slow to come up. After it came up I rebooted pc. I noticed an update KB5050593 that needed to be installed. I installed it it shows successfully installed. Ever since been acting weird. I go to setting and try tp uninstall and its not there. Any ideas where to go from here.

    Just some guesses:

    You can check if the update is really installed with 

    Get-HotFix | Where-Object {$_.HotFixID -eq "KB5050593"}

    in PowerShell.

    To check system corruption, you can run System File Checker:

    sfc /scannow

    Be aware that this could take a while :D. You can follow up with:

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    To look deeper and fix more complex corruption in the system image.

     

    You can also try to remove the update via command line:

    wusa /uninstall /kb:5050593

     

    If nothing helps, try booting into safe mode. If everything works fine there, then something in your startup might be causing issues - could be drivers, malware, or conflicting services.
