Missiong uninstall option
Windows 10 automatically saves a copy of the previous version inside the “Windows.old” folder to roll back if something happens during an installation. If the upgrade completes successfully, the “Windows.old” folder will be kept on the device, and you can use the above instructions to remove Windows 10 22H2. If the “Windows.old” folder has been deleted manually or automatically, you won’t be able to uninstall the feature update. Typically, after ten days from the original installation, the system will automatically remove the previous setup files to free up space, thus removing the option to roll back. In the case that the option is missing, but you still have the files, something else is going on. In this situation, you can still downgrade, but you will need to use a clean installation of Windows 10 using an ISO file that contains the older version you want to use.
