KB4524244 Security update for Windows 10 - February 11 Win Update
-
Here's where the can of worms comes in.
I checked my dsktp this morning and thought
I wonder if 4244 shows in an ELV CMD prompt and it did then I checked in PS and it was there to, so taking this one step further I used these CMDs to check and then uninstall 4244 using the CMD and PS prompts:
Hi Anak, I ran the CMD prompts as you posted them (thanks for that), with the result that KB4524244 was not found in my computer.
- - - Updated - - -
I found the update in the registry under: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\CatalogsToUninstall
FWIW, I also found that key about the uninstalled update in the registry, same as you did.

Hi dekeforty, Bo you're welcome;
Finally got a chance to check the two machines in my specs and Bo I had the same result 4244 not found even though it's listed in the Settings\Update applet. The only thing I can say 'bout that is the 7 to 10 machine I was working with this morning is just that, a 7 to 10 upgrade where the two in my specs are OEM installs which might be the reason why 4244 still showed on the 7 to 10 CMD an PS prompts.
@dekeforty I checked Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\CatalogsToUninstall and it's exactly like yours, notice kb4524244 at the bottom in the right panel? For me there's your '1'.
For @pietcorus2 Have you double checked the path? If path is good maybe try a SFC scan or DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth or even a combination of both.
For now, I await the arrival of the new actor as I try to get all these worms back into the can...

I uninstalled it also. Better be safe then sorry.

" CatalogsToUninstall "...........seems to be removed after a DISM-cleanup ( after the DISM-cleanup its not possible to uninstall an update "in the normal way" also !)

Are you saying you had CatalogsToUninstall then ran the dism and now you don't have the CatalogsToUninstall. Or
You're saying you haven't run dism and your post is cautionary knowing you would lose CatalogsToUninstall?

This one: Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
will set the KBs permanently, so they are no longer UN-installable in the normal manner. They show, but no options to do anything.
I took a little different approach. Been a while since I'd done any housecleaning, so I got the latest ISO and did and in-place repair. Roughly 20 minutes. All gone.

Maybe your PATH info is messed up.

I can tell my experience. In 2 computers there is the catalogtounistall but in my husbands laptop there isn t this and I haven t do any cleanup but my husband's pc doesn't have any restore point configured so I think that's why it's missing or because this pc was a 8.1 windows first to became win10 and there is a ApplicabilityEvaluationCache above CapabilityIndex

WMIC is present though ...........
Will make a MS-restore point and check regedit again ( never used these restore-points , only using Macrium for complete restore )
