Silently Uninstalling Windows Updates via Command Line in Windows 10
After reviewing the following tutorial thread:
Uninstall Windows Update in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Windows Update Activation Tutorials
I've decided that the information contained within is not entirely accurate (at a minimum, it is no longer accurate). The tutorial states that you can use the following to remove an update via the command line:
wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:XXXXXX /quiet
I'm not entirely sure this command line was vetted when the tutorial was created, because /quiet is not an option via the command line in Windows 10 (in fact, you will receive an error 87 - the parameter is incorrect).
I then considered using DISM /online /get-packages to find the specific KB article I'm looking for, then use DISM.exe /Online /Remove-Package /PackageName: /quiet /norestart to remove the update in question. However, this particular update (KB3210721) was not listed in the DISM packages, even though it is listed when using the PowerShell Get-Hotfix cmdlet or by using wmic qfe list brief /format:table.
Anyone know of an actual method to remove Windows Updates on Windows 10 silently EVERYTIME? Thanks in advance!
(Oh, and thank you, Microsoft, for removing the /quiet switch. Unnecessary change that screws the administrator, truly worthy of your brand).
