Just a word of caution; if the update you are trying to uninstall is an update that fixes a security issue, then it is highly recommended to leave the update installed and see if there is a workaround available for the issue you are experiencing with the update.
If there is no workaround, read the security bulletin for the update to verify whether you are affected by this security flaw and/or if there are other ways to protect you from this. If there is, you can safely remove it if you take those measurements.
Another way to go would be to set Windows Update to download and notify only instead of letting Windows Update automatically download and install updates. This will allow you to review and (de)select updates that would otherwise be automatically installed.
