Uninstall Windows KB Param

Summary​

The script is designed to facilitate the uninstallation of a specific Windows update on a computer. To achieve this, it requires the user to input the KBID (Knowledge Base Identifier) of the Windows update through a designated user parameter. Additionally, there is an option to authorize a system restart if the update necessitates it, which can be accomplished by providing a '1' in the user parameter for reboot.

The script will endeavor to remove the targeted update without initiating a system restart when the reboot parameter is either left blank or set to '0'.

Caution: It's worth noting, however, that in certain scenarios, the update itself may trigger an involuntary system reboot.

Sample Run​

The computer will undergo a reboot if the patch necessitates a restart to finalize the removal process.
