Windows 7 101 : How to remove installed updates

By default, Windows 7 will automatically download critical and important updates into your system.  Sometimes, some of this updates may conflict with your drivers and some other files.  If you experienced problem after an update installation, removing a certain update may correct the issue.  But how will you do it in Windows 7?  During the reign of Windows XP, installed updates can be found in the Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel and can be easily uninstalled there.  In Windows 7, it’s a little bit tricky.  Here’s how:

Open your Windows Update window located in the All Programs folder in your Start Menu.  Or you may just type in “Windows Update” in your Start Menu search bar and hit the Enter key.
