Remove Patches Via Command Line

Works on Windows Server 2008R2, 7, 8 and higher

  1. Find the list of packages installed on the machine with the issue by performing this command
dism /online /get-packages /format:table

for ease of reading I did the following:

dism /online /get-packages /format:table > patches.txt
  1. From the list get the Package Identity Name

Package_for_KB2870699~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.2.1.1

  1. Run this command to uninstall the update silently
DISM.exe /Online /Remove-Package /PackageName:Package_for_KB2870699~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.2.1.1 /quiet /norestart
