After updating to Windows 11 24H2, you have two options for uninstalling the feature update and reverting to the previous version from the recovery settings if you experience errors, compatibility difficulties, performance problems, or unknown bugs.
You can uninstall version 24H2 using the Recovery settings if the computer still boots up properly and you can access the desktop. However, you can still use the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRe) to delete the feature update if the device is having boot issues and won’t start.
You can only go back to the prior version within the first 10 days following the upgrade, regardless of the method you choose. In order to make room for more of your stuff, Windows 11 will remove the files from the prior installation after this time.
Following the ten-day period, you have two options if you wish to downsize. You can use the earlier operating system version to clean install the system or restore it from a backup.
It’s crucial to remember that you could have to reinstall some apps after removing the Windows 11 2024 Update, and you might lose the settings you have set up when using the more recent version.
I’ll walk you through the process of reverting to Windows 10 or Windows 11 23H2 after updating to version 24H2 in this post.
