Hello,

Following a performance regression observed after installing the KB5049981 update, I would like to proceed with its uninstallation via WSUS. However, I encounter an error message during this attempt.

    Hi, @Ayman NAJID

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    We can see the update is not removable in WSUS console, so the error message is normal.

    From this link, we can see:

    To remove the LCU after installing the combined SSU and LCU package, use the DISM/Remove-Package command line option with the LCU package name as the argument. You can find the package name by using this command: DISM /online /get-packages.
