    I haveWindows 8.1 and I was very suprised to find that my laptop has downloaded and installed Windows updates.Two of these updates are causing me problems but I cant uninstall either of them.The problem updates are KB 2999226 ( I have 2 of these updates ) and KB 4012213
    I thought support for Windows 8/8.1 ended a long time ago,what is going on and how can I uninstall these 2 updates ? Any souloutions will be very much appreciated,thank you

    KB2999226 does not cause any problems
    KB4012213 is a Security Only update, it's never delivered or installed by Windows Update

    what do mean you can't uninstall them?

    What is the error you get?
    did you ran Dism /ResetBase on the system? the updates will become permanent

    I dont get any error,I just want to uninstall these updates.My Windows 8.1 PC is not very powerful and only has a small HDD so I only use it for playing DOS games.I am NOT even connected to the internet on this PC because as I said above,there is no need for me to have ANY updates as I only use it for DOS games.As this PC is not even connected to the internet ( but the wifi is on ) I am a little bit suprised that Windows downloaded and installed updates that I dont need and dont want.
