This secret trick will let you massively extend the rollback timeMicrosoft recently released the Windows 11 2022 Update (22H2) followed by a 'moment' update which introduced new features to the OS, including tabs in File Explorer.
If you’ve been reading our coverage of the problems that users have found with the Windows 11 2022 Update you might be concerned about installing it, but don’t worry you can roll back the operating system to your previous build. There’s just one problem -- Microsoft only gives you 10 days to do this, which is hardly any time at all. We think you need longer, much longer, so we’ll show you how to extend this allowance to 60 days.
The following guide only works if you’re still within the original 10-day rollback period. To check if you are, go to Settings and click on
System, then scroll down to
Recovery. If you see a
Go Back option you’re fine. If it’s greyed out then you are stuck with the version of Windows 11 that you’re currently running.
Assuming you can see the Go Back option, click the Start button, type
CMD into the search box and click on
Run as Administrator on the right.
In the Command Prompt window type:
DISM /Online /Get-OSUninstallWindow
Hit enter and next to the
Uninstall Window line it should say
10. This means you have ten days to roll back the update. That’s not enough, so let’s change it.
Still in the Command Prompt, enter the following (note the command this time around is
Set not
Get):
DISM /Online /Set-OSUninstallWindow /Value:60
Hit enter and the rollback time should be increased to two months. To check it is, type in the original command and hit enter:
DISM /Online /Get-OSUninstallWindow
This is a simple but very useful trick and one we like to perform after every Windows Update just to make sure we have all the time we need to be prepared for any potential problems that arise after ten days.
