sujith Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) As you might have heard, Windows 8.1 Update comes in the form of several KB files, so you’re going to need to remove them all in order to make sure that the new OS version is completely gone.So follow the next path to get to the screen that allows you to uninstall the patches:Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > View installed updatesUninstall the following updates: • KB2949621• KB2938439• KB2937592• KB2932046• KB2919355Once you’re done, reboot your computer and you should be good to go.If you’re going to pick this alternative way, launch a Command Prompt window with administrator privileges and run the following commands, one by one, until each of the aforementioned patches is successfully uninstalled:CODEwusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2949621wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2938439wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2937592wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2932046wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2919355Of course, a reboot is again needed in order to make sure that all files have been successfully removed, so restart your computer and then check again if the aforementioned KB files have been deleted from the Windows Update list.
