From time to time we receive updates on Windows 10. Unfortunately, it is possible that some of the ones we have received are causing operating problems on the computer. In these cases, it is important that we can locate it and that we are going to eliminate it at that time, that we can uninstall it, to end the problems.
The first step is therefore to see what Windows 10 updates we have installed on the computer. This is something that we can easily verify. Here we show you how to do it. In this way, we can identify the one that may be giving us problems.
In this case, the computer has a kind of update history. It is in this history where we will be able to see all the updates that we have received in it over time. Very useful information, in the event that there is any that is causing problems in the computer. Having access to this history is also very simple.
Windows 10 update history
First of all we will have to open Windows 10 settings on your computer. So we can click on the cogwheel icon in the start menu or use the Win + I key combination on the keyboard, so that it will open on our computer screen. When we have it on the screen, we can start.
Let's get into this case in the Update and security section, which usually comes out in the last place normally. Once inside it, we look at the column on the left. We have to click on the Windows Update option, which usually comes out first. In the center of the screen we will then see the options in this section. Here we find the option called View update history. On this option we have to press then.
Then we are already in the section where we can see the updates we have received in Windows 10. In the first section we can see the feature updates, which is a term that refers to large updates to the operating system. Those that are launched every six months therefore. The updates received will then be listed, unless you have deleted them or reset the computer previously. If this update is causing problems, we can see it in this section.
We can see that we also find other sections, which show various types of updates. Windows 10 divides them into quality updates, Definition updates and we have the others section. In this sense, we will have to look for the update that has generated this problem. The normal thing is that it is a recent one, probably the last one. In case you don't know what it is, look in these categories for the most recent of all.
If there are problems with one, what to do?
You are probably looking for these Windows 10 updates, because there is one that is giving you problems, as we have already mentioned before. If you have finally located it, in this section we have an option which is to uninstall updates. So we have to click on it. It will take us to a new screen, where we can choose which update we want to remove from the computer. We can choose from this list.
It is a very useful option, with which to be able to end the problems that a specific update is causing in Windows 10. Also, as you can see, the process itself does not present too many complications. The most important thing in this case, which is sometimes not easy, is to know which update is causing these problems. Thus, we can either wait for a new one to be launched or install it again. There may be cases where there is a failure in this update, so we wait for them to be fixed, before installing it once more on the PC.
