To do that, you will first need to download the MSI for the version you want to revert to fromMicrosoft’s website.
Then, run Command Prompt as administrator and use the following command where the path is the one to the MSI you downloaded and the FileName is the name of the MSI file.
C:\Users\username\Desktop\test>msiexec /I FileName.msi /qn ALLOWDOWNGRADE=1
