How to uninstall Windows 10 October 2018 Update

If you're still encountering problems with the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, or you don't like the changes Microsoft has made, then you can uninstall the October 2018 Update and revert to a previous version of Windows.

We wouldn’t actually advise doing this, as you might miss out on future security updates from Microsoft, but if you would rather go back until all the bugs and problems with the Windows 10 October 2018 Update has been fixed, then follow these steps.

First, go to Settings > Update & security > Recovery and click on 'Get started' under where it says 'Go back to the previous version of Windows 10'.

A window will appear asking you why you want to revert to a previous version. Answer the question (this helps Microsoft improve future versions of Windows), then click 'No, thanks' from the next window. This is where it asks you if you want to check for any updates.

Click 'Next' on the window that follows, then 'Next' again, making sure you have your Windows log in details handy. Finally, click 'Go back to earlier build' and the Windows 10 October 2018 Update will uninstall.

If you wait 10 days to uninstall the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, you might find the option is gone. Unfortunately, the only way to uninstall the October 2018 Update after that is to perform a fresh install of Windows 10 using an ISO file of an older version.
