Windows 10’s 2020 update has several annoying and technical issues. Many users are facing frustrating errors, and their PC is acting up- after they have updated to the 2020 update of Windows 10. 

Many people are wondering how they can uninstall the new update of Windows 10 to fix the ongoing issues. There are plenty of various methods of reverting Windows 10 May Update in no time.

In this article, you are about to learn different ways of undoing Windows 10 buggy May Update. All methods and steps mentioned in our guide are 100 %% official and safe.

Caution: You Got Only 10 Days to Restore Back from the May Update

According to Microsoft, users can easily remove or uninstall a major update or patch on Windows 10 and revert to a previous state. However, it is not possible to make changes if you try to remove it ten days post the installation date. Once these ten days are passed, you won’t be able to undo this update, and your PC will remain buggy as it is.

Even if you use third-party tools to remove the update post after ten days of update, it will not happen at all, and your May Update will remain just as it is. 

However, even if these ten days are over, you can still go for a clean Windows installation to fix the issues. There is also one other option called “Reset” that will allow you to fix this issue without any problem at all.

Method 1: Removing Windows 10 May 2020 Update via Recovery

If you are not facing any bugs and issues on your Windows 10, you can easily uninstall the last updates by using Windows 10 Recovery tool. Here is how to do it:

  1. On your computer, press the “Windows + I” keys at the same time.
  2. This will trigger Settings on your PC screen.
  3. Then, go to Update and Security.    
  4. Now press on the Recovery option.
  5. In the “Go back to the previous version of Windows 10” section, press the option saying “Get started” and then follow the onscreen prompts to continue.

In case your computer is not showing these options, then it means you cannot revert your PC back to the previous version with this method. It also means that those 10 days are over, and Microsoft has deleted the files used to undo 2020 May’s Windows Update.
