Unable to uninstall a Windows 10 update

Hello,
When I want to uninstall a Windows Update, I don't have the "uninstall" button that should appear when I select the update.
I have tried all the proposed solutions. Even in safe mode and it doesn't work.
I have files and a lot of very important software that I don't want to have to reinstall everything. It's impossible.
Thank you for your help.

Hello,
Thank you for the image, but it's exactly what I'm doing, except that when I hover my mouse over the updates I want to uninstall, the button does not appear.
Hello
Same as redbart, never used.
When I hover over a line, it turns light blue, but the button doesn’t appear.
When I click on a line, the button appears if it’s an update, but not on the servicing stack lines.
I have files and a lot of very important software that I wouldn’t want to have to reinstall everything.
For this same reason, I’m not testing any further.
Make sure to back everything up well; the risk is never zero when you tinker with the system.
I don’t see why you want to uninstall an update.
I wouldn’t know how to guide you if you have a problem, but there are competent people on the site.
Hello,
The situation is conceivable (for example, the latest build 22H2 may result in some of your hardware not being recognized by Windows, it never was or only in a generic way, at the same time as the hardware manufacturer no longer releases new drivers and the available ones are not compatible with 22H2).
We can try to perform such an operation outside of the Windows interface either through Advanced Settings or from the command line; I'm not certain that if the update only adds a patch but modifies system files, this will be possible.

I didn't ask you the reason, but only if one of the two solutions I'm proposing works (not guaranteed).
Otherwise, there would be no other solution than to format, disconnect all network connections, reinstall with an ISO of the version we want to stop at (for example, 21H2), and disable the updates we don't want (for example, 22H2) using something like wumt as soon as Windows Update finds them again.

The procedure is cumbersome and makes more sense for hardware that is no longer supported than for software for which it's rare not to find the updated version or an equivalent, which one?
