How do I remove ALL Windows Updates? Repair Install sayMy sys is newer
I know I "can" do this manually for each one listed in Installed Updates via the Programs and Features tool. but that will take forever.
I'm looking for a quicker automated way to uninstall all updates.
Before you ask why i want to do such a thing - I am trying to do an In Place repair install and windows upgrade setup tells me my system is newer than the one to be installed.
I'm hoping that uninstalling all updates including recent updates, will trick the installer into thinking this is still the same original copy that was installed two years ago (because IT IS).. I KNOW my win 7 install disk is much newer you see...
I also get this error:
Upgrading Windows will affect the following devices and/or programs:
- These devices might not work properly after the upgrade. Before upgrading, we recommend updating the drivers for these devices. Cancel the upgrade, open Control Panel and search for "update device drivers", or go to the device manufacturer's website to search for updated drivers.
- Keyboard Filter
This is silly. When I go to control panel there is no "Update device drivers" option. If I go to Device Manager and select my keyboard then tell it to search for new drivers, it does not find updated drivers. Can't find anything that actually says Keyboard Filter.
It's like MS doesn't know what other parts of it's OS are doing.. they are all using different tools and are getting different results.
