Hello there!


I have been having many problems with my computer recently (slowness, crashes, freezing) and have narrowed it down to this update I think. However, I cannot uninstall this for the life of me! It was just like someone clicked their fingers, one day it was fine, nice and fast as usual and running great then all of a sudden it got so very slow! I have scanned for viruses multiple times, checked my program startup list, uninstalled programs, made sure I was up to date, trimmed my SSD's, updated drivers....


So I thought I'd just uninstall the December 2020 updates as that is the last thing I can think of to do now. However when I am in control pannel, it has no option to 'uninstall'. It seemed to have installed these three updates on 8/12/2020 (KB4593175, KB4592438 and KB4532830). I can also see that on the 1/12/2020 it also installed KB4586876.


I cannot unsinall ANY of the updates installed on the 8/12/2020 (KB4593175, KB4592438 and KB4532830) But I can uninstall KB4586876 and thats it.

I don't want to do a system restore really as these were installed 18 days and 11 days ago and I don't want to have to go back on myself and re-do everything that I have done. I also would rather not reinstall the OS if possible.


I have so far tried to uninstall thsese updates (Mainly want KB4586876 gone as there are reports this one is giving issues like what I have experienced) by going into Control Pannel and trying to uninstall (No option to uninstall there), using Command Prompt (Gives me an error saying that it is critical for the OS), booting into adanced startup and selecting 'Uninstall latest quality update', which will give me an error saying that it had a problem and could not uninstall, tried KB4586876 and it just came back after restart. I haven't tried safe mode just yet but I will give that a go too.


Thanks for reading, and any suggestions will be great. I may just have to wait until January for fix... It would be ideal to get this fixed for over Christmas so I can properly use the computer....


Thanks again!
