Re: KB5016701 Removes CONTROL PANEL access
I do not work for Microsoft and am only a system and software engineer with more than 50 years experience in IT. I did significant reading of comments etc. on the internet related to KB 5016701... The comments expressed in the following is just a theory.... Please note the separation of KB from 5016701. I discovered that everyone did not receive the same updates as what is called KB5016701 the update KB5015669 was sent earlier possibly as a component of another update. KB5015669 contains some logic or switching capability that enable components of software to be tested to operate in a test me mode. Removing KB5015669 switches OFF the to be tested logic that is contained in some other updates.... .... Maybe Microsoft would comment on this theory....2.2KViews0likes3CommentsRe: KB5016701 Removes CONTROL PANEL access
IADA_Dana Unfortunately my Windows 11 system does NOT offer me the UN INSTALL option for the KB5016701 update. winver reported the system as Version 22H2 (OS build 22622.586) I have identified a work around that seems to rectify the problem UNINSTALL KB5015669 winver now reports the system as Version 22H2 (OS build 22621.586) notice 22622 became 22621 a version change perhaps Microsoft can explain this interesting effect2.3KViews0likes6CommentsKB5016701 Removes CONTROL PANEL access
This system was previously a member of the INSIDER PREVIEW environment On the 25th August Windows Update installed Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Insider Preview (10.0.22622.586) (KB5016701) This has removed access to the CONTROL PANEL Due to version numbers this can NOT be fixed by using a Windows 11 CD 21H1 to repair the problem. WINDOWS UPDATE does no offer KB5016701 has an uninstall update. How do I get the CONTROL PANEL Icon and functionality back to working?2.5KViews0likes9Comments
