A Windows 10 laptop begins crashing after a cumulative update. You start Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) and choose Uninstall latest quality update to roll back that update. Which of the following best describes what the rollback will change on the system?
All user documents created after the update are automatically deleted.
Every customization to Windows settings made since the update is automatically reverted.
The update's own system files and related registry keys are restored to their previous versions.
Any applications installed after the update are rolled back to their earlier versions or removed.
Rolling back (uninstalling) a Windows update replaces only the files and registry entries that the update originally modified; it does not touch personal files, applications installed later, or user settings changed after the update. Therefore, the correct choice is the one that limits the rollback to the update's own components. The other options describe changes that would require tools such as System Restore, Reset, or manual reconfiguration and are not performed by the update-uninstall process.
