WU_E_REVERT_NOT_ALLOWED

WU_E_REVERT_NOT_ALLOWED means the update cannot be reverted in its current state or through the current request. A revert action is not always the same as a normal uninstall and may be restricted by package type, source, or servicing state.

What to check

  • Confirm whether the package is still present, staged, installed, or superseded.
  • Check the update's supported removal or recovery procedure rather than assuming a universal rollback exists.
  • Review the log context for policy, source, or state restrictions that preceded this code.
