This tutorial will show you how to manually apply a Known Issue Rollback (KIR) for your Windows 11 device.

All other changes that were made as a part of that release remain intact. By using this technology, if a Windows update causes a regression or other problem, you don't have to uninstall the entire update and return the system to the last known good configuration. You roll back only the change that caused the problem. This rollback is...
