HOW TO Microsoft Windows 11

Last Windows Update generates issues

Windows often shows updates that are in Preview that can be installed and sometimes could have unknown issues/bugs.

If you installed a Windows update and then your system is not working properly the easiest solution is to unistall it.
This happened yesterday with the Preview update KB5028245 in Windows 11 that made my screen blinking.
How to proceed in these cases?
