HOW TO
How to uninstall ArcGIS software patches on Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025
Summary
Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025 no longer provide a straightforward method to view and remove ArcGIS software patches through the Control Panel. Administrators can instead use Windows Package Manager (WinGet) to identify installed ArcGIS patches and launch the uninstall process.
This workflow is useful when troubleshooting issues introduced by a recently installed ArcGIS patch or when directed by Esri Technical Support.
Procedure
Use Windows Package Manager (WinGet) to identify installed ArcGIS patches and launch the uninstall process.
- Run Windows PowerShell as an Administrator.
- Run the following command to get a list of installed ArcGIS software:
WinGet list --name ArcGIS
- Copy the name of the patch to uninstall
- Run the following command to uninstall the patch:
WinGet uninstall --name "<name>"
Example:
WinGet uninstall --name "Portal for ArcGIS 11.3 Security 2025 Update 3 Patch"
