    thanks Narendra Padmani for your response ... removing patches is nothing but reverting back to previous version ???

    Hello Jelan,

    Correct, Removing patches is nothing but reverting back to previous version in vmware . in windows we can uninstall signal patch.

    Regards,

    Randhir

    The best way is to revert patches - Follow the VMware KB

    VMware Knowledge Base

    Notes:

    1. In the console screen of the ESXi host, press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to see the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI) screen. 
    2. Press F12 to view the shutdown options for the ESXi host. 
    3. Press F11 to reboot. 
    4. When the Hypervisor progress bar starts loading, press Shift+R. You will see the warning:

      Current hypervisor will permanently be replaced
      with build: X.X.X-XXXXXX. Are you sure? [y/n]
    5. Press Y to roll back the build. 
    6. Press Enter to boot.

    any other way to remove patch?, Shift+R is not helping in my case since the update and patch installed in single reboot.

    Please create a new discussion, and describe your current setup (version/build) as well as the patch(es) that you want to remove.

    This way your question will get more attention, that a reply to a 4 years old thread.
