By default, Microsoft allows users ten days to uninstall a new Windows 10 feature update and roll back to a previous version of the operating system.
In this article, we will show you how to increase your 'OS uninstall window' to give you more time to test out a new Windows 10 feature update.
After installing a new Windows 10 feature update, it is not uncommon to run into bugs, performance issues, or crashes that require you to uninstall the feature update until the bugs are fixed.
If it has been more than ten days since you installed the Windows 10 feature update, the 'Get Started' button will be dimmed, as shown below, and you will not be able to remove the feature update.
As we previously stated, after you install a new feature update, Microsoft sets the OS uninstall window setting to ten days, which the amount of time you have to uninstall the new update.
