Windows 10 Creators Update is finally available to all users. Even though Microsoft officially released it today, there are some users who already run the latest Windows 10 version on their computers. Mostly because of the early availability through Windows Upgrade Assistant.

However, not everyone is as satisfied with the Creators Update as Microsoft hopes for. There are some users who, let’s say regret installing the new update. Two main reasons are dissatisfaction with offered features, or due to some system issues. Either way, these users would certainly like to roll back to the previous version, and uninstall Windows 10 Creators Update.

If you’re among them, we’ve prepared you a detailed guide on how to delete the Creators Update from your computer, and pick up where you left off with the previous version.
