Shit I ran windows update cleanup after that update was installed and now I can't seem to uninstall it. Is there any workaround other than format and reinstall windows?
Try looking up the KB number for that update, and download it from microsofts website. Then run it to see if it gives an option to remove it. I use Linux so I don't know if this will work, but best of luck to you.

I used the windows update cleanup and the normal way of uinstalling updates doesn't work after you have used that tool. I have tried to google a solution and can' find one.

From another post I commented about Windows 7 "security" updates.
https://mega.co.nz/#fm/18gTxbrI
I would recommend the following for Windows 7 users who do not want any Windows 10 updates and this Telemetry update. Below was the copied code from the http://superuser.com/questions/922068/how-to-disable-the-get-windows-10-icon-shown-in-the-notification-area-tray website but I formatted for Voat to use.
Open note pad in Windows, create a file "BlockWindows10.bat", paste and save below the code.

Windows 7: Go to Control Panel -> View Installed Updates, click on the unwanted update, and then click on uninstall.
For Windows 8/8.1
That doesn't work, Google is your friend.
If you want to format and reinstall windows, consider putting it in a Virtualbox or similar software and using Linux as the OS to run it.
Finally a help forum is more appropriate for these types of questions.
