So, if a patch on your Windows Server goes sideways and crashes everything, you gotta roll it back quick. I mean, I've been there, staring at a frozen screen after an update. You start by heading to the Control Panel. Click on Programs and Features. Spot the update that caused the mess. Right-click it and hit Uninstall. Watch it unwind like pulling a knot loose. Sometimes it takes a bit, so grab coffee while it churns. If that doesn't fix the glitch, boot into Safe Mode first. I do that when things feel stubborn. Restart and mash F8 or Shift plus Restart from the login. Pick Safe Mode from the options. Then try the uninstall again. Feels smoother there, less interference. Oh, and if you're on a newer setup, use Settings instead. Search for Update History. Find the bad patch and click to remove it. I swear, it saves headaches nine times out of ten. But hey, if the server's really toast, think about System Restore points. You set those up before patching, right? Roll back to a point before the update hit. I always check mine first. It's like hitting rewind on a bad movie scene. Just make sure you test after, poke around to see if apps work. Patches can hide sneaky bugs, you know. I once spent hours chasing ghosts after a rollback. Double-check logs too, in Event Viewer. Spot any error echoes. That clues you in on what went wonky. Anyway, rolling back keeps your server humming without total rebuilds. I hate starting from scratch, it's such a drag.
