Can't uninstall update KB3211320 that causes error [SOLVED] - Yes ! there is nothing Impossible [FIXED]

Can't uninstall update KB3211320 that broke internet, Adobe, keyboard and many...

This week Microsoft had released an update for Windows 10 users in the name of KB3211320.

Though i was yet to install the update (i'm on Enterprise eval edition), i had seen many changes on my

friend's PC which are mostly because of bugs. Some of the notable changes are.. like

His favorite one Adobe CC 2017 worked great before that stopped working after every 5-10 minutes.,
His internet connection seemed lost when he used Microsoft Edge browser, he needs to re register

his office and many more issues like keyboard unresponsive for some time...

OK, all this happened after updating his PC to that latest update.

Unfortunately we can't uninstall the update using our regular approach because it was served on

Servicing stack update which cannot be uninstalled.

So, we followed an alternate approach, which is modifying the core elements of the update..

This allowed us to uninstall the update,

So, if you too are facing the issue then, i hope this post may be helpful for you too...

Remember following this approach is against the Microsoft terms, but since we need to use our PC

there's nothing wrong in doing something that saves our PC..

Unfortunately, i forgot to take screenshots, so i like to show through my files...

1) First, open File explorer

2) Open your Windows installed drive, may be 'C' drive for most of the time..

3) Navigate to

C:\Windows\Servicing\Packages

Note : If your Windows was installed on a different drive like 'D' then go to

D:\Windows\Servicing\Packages

4) When you opened you will find different packages...

Click on the date modified, so that you can find the recent update..

5) On your right hand size, there will be a search box, type .mum on the field..

set sleep settings in windows 10 one is traditional way through control panel and other is through

settings. If you are using windows 10 latest build, then you can't change sleep settings using 

control panel because they are migrated into new app called settings, so we can say the control

panel step won't work 99 % so i explain the steps through settings app.

How to change sleep settings on Windows 10 and where is sleep mode located in windows 10

Just follow the below steps..

1) Open settings

We need to customize that things, changing the things there would change the time our PC goes into
sleep..

5) Set the amount of time you wish to set ..
