Why no longer using WUSA to uninstall Windows Updates
hey patchmanagement peeps, I believe this one found in Azure Stack HCI 23H2 update history (and other Windows Update history pages) can transferred to other OS and releases that integrate their SS...
addendum: using WUSA only works on all Windows Client and Windows Server releases that are unsupported or out of mainstream support today, such as Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 (R2) or earlier or unsupported versions of Windows Client OS.
In this case though one need to consider to
- use WUSA to uninstall KB
- restart
- use WUSA to uninstall the SSU KB after the CU
a procedere which is not possible in current OSes.
One execption to that rule above might be Windows 7 / 2008 R2 and earlier as these OS required to install the SSU AFTER the CU, this has changed in all later versions.
