Security News > 2021 > April > NVIDIA staff suggests rolling back Windows 10 update to fix game issues
Update 4/24/21: Microsoft has begun pushing out a fix for the Windows 10 KB5001330 gaming issues.
An NVIDIA staff member has suggested users roll back to an earlier version of Windows 10 to resolve gameplay issues on devices using NVIDIA GPUs.
As first reported by WindowsLatest, in response to these complaints, an NVIDIA staff member suggested rolling back from March 2021's optional KB5000842 preview update to resolve the issues.
"If you are seeing lower performance in games, check if rolling back Windows 10 Update KB5000842 solves the issue," an NVIDIA staff member commented in the NVIDIA forums.
To roll back from April's updates, users would need to uninstall KB5001330 and revert to March's Windows 10 KB5000802 Patch Tuesday update.
As April's Windows 10 KB5001330 update fixes over 100 security vulnerabilities, including actively exploited and publicly disclosed vulnerabilities, it is strongly advised that users not uninstall this update.
