Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 will now uninstall updates that cause problems with your computers running or starting up. Botched Windows Updates have become a headache for both the company and its customers. Hopefully, this will put an end to that.

To quote Microsoft - "To ensure that your device can start up and continue running as expected, Windows will also prevent problematic updates from installing automatically for the next 30 days. This will give Microsoft and our partners the opportunity to investigate the failure and fix any issues. After 30 days, Windows will again try to install the updates."

Should your computer run into a problem, Windows 10 will remove the updates, restart and notify you that "We removed some recently installed updates to recover your device from a startup failure."

Missing is any mention the ability to pause updates yourself, especially on large feature updates. We do have some articles on how to block, defer, delete and configure Windows Updates below, and we will update this article if we get any more information.

There is no mention of when this will take place in Windows Update, but it could be as soon as Today, an upcoming patch Tuesday.
