KB4532441 the update that was released by mistake

Microsoft accidentally released and installed the KB4532441 update for Windows 10.The update concerns Windows Autopilot. When they realized their mistake, Microsoft withdrew the update, but somewhat late, after many people had already installed it on their systems. KB4532441

Windows Autopilot, available in Windows 10, is a Microsoft technology that allows business administrators to pre-configure new Windows 10 devices and manage them from their network.

On December 10, during the December 2019 Patch Tuesday, Microsoft accidentally released the cumulative update KB4532441 Autopilot for Windows to all users running Windows 10.

The update fortunately did not cause any damage but it is not necessary and, in my opinion, the fewer unnecessary updates you have installed on Windows, the better.

As Microsoft explains in the update's support bulletin, when it realized its mistake, it withdrew it from release

Installing the update doesn't cause any harm to Windows 10, but it adds things you don't need. The Windows Autopilot update was not released for Windows 10 Home.

If you installed the update, follow the steps below to remove it from your system.

Open Control Panel, Programs > Programs and Features, and click View installed updates on the left.

Then, right-click on the KB4532441 list entry and confirm the question if “Are you sure you want to uninstall this update?”. Then, you should click on the “Yes” button and then do a reboot of your device.
