Extend Windows feature update rollback beyond 10 days.

Topic

New Reply

If New Windows feature installation is within the 10 days rollback can be extended to more days, up to 60.

Check rollback days :

CMD (as Andmin) DISM /Online /Get-OSUninstallWindow

Extend rollback days

CMD (as Admin) DISM /Online /Set-OSUninstallWindow /Value:60 (max).

Alex,

Here’s a little PowerShell script to automate the process with error checks.

Clear-Host

#Check to see if running as Administrator!
Function Get-AdminStatus {

    If (-NOT ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal] `
          [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole(`
          [Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole] "Administrator"))
    {"User"}
    Else
    {"Administrator"}
}      # End Get-AdminStatus

If ( (Get-AdminStatus) -ne "Administrator") {
  "Restart PowerShell as Administrator and try again..."
}
Else {

  $x = & DISM /Online /Get-OSUninstallWindow
  $Value = ($X[6].Split(":"))[1]

  If ($Value -lt 60) {
    $Value = Read-Host -Prompt $("Current Value is: $Value" +
                                 "`nEnter desired Value (Max 60)")
    If ($Value -lt 10 -or $Value -gt 60) {
      "nInvalid value: $Value entered.nSetting is changed!"
    }
    Else {
      & DISM /Online /Set-OSUninstallWindow /Value:$Value
    }

  } #End If ($Value...

} #End Else

Just copy to a text editor and save as Set-FeatureRollbackDays.ps1

May the Forces of good computing be with you!
