OK, if MS pulled this KB, why is still on my system? WU auto installed it on my system on 02/13/2020, the day after the CU (KB4532693) was installed by the Patch Tuesday WU update. WU checked for updates at 6:58 PM ET on 02/15/2020 and KB4524244 is still installed.
Manually selected WU check for updates from the WU page at 10:12 AM ET 02/16/2020 and it says everything is up to date with KB4524244 still installed. Very confused and a tad irritated.
Should I uninstall KB4524244?

I have a system image prior to the Patch Tuesday CU, so we’ll see.
Update: Ran the uninstall of KB4524244 from the Installed Updates page and of course, it did not uninstall. Will recover from the last System Image I have. More wasted time maintaining W10. Thanks bunches MS.
2nd Update: So if one isn't running Kaspersky software, are you at risk with this KB installed?
3rd Update: I did another power off & boot up. The Control Panel display of installed programs does not list KB4524244 now. Yes, it's still in the Update History list on the Windows Update History page. I'm guessing the update has been removed from my system. Gotta love Windows as a service!

meh, can't they simply fix whatever is wrong with it on the next one?

I want to know who is lying ? I also went and "Uninstalled" KB4524244", Rebooted the system. Went into "Settings" and "Viewed Installed Updates", and it was still there. Went to "Control Panel" selected "Programs & Features", then "Viewed Installed Updates", and Its no where to be found.

ehm quite simply because uninstalling an update doesn't remove it from the update history.. if you are being serious with your question anyway ^^

That maybe true, but since it was "uninstalled", it really isn't part of the installed history anymore ? It is definitely gone from the control panel history.

The control panel is not a graphical history log, it's a repository for uninstalling updates.. If you wish to have your installation history expunged, you can always remove the SoftwareDistribution folder after stopping the WU service.

The issue is that Microsoft signed a bootloader from Kaspersky that somehow has the ability to disable Secure Boot. The patch, if I understand correctly, will block the bootloader from running if it somehow gets on your computer.
