Returnig to an older version of Pro

[MarcelSt-Germain]

I always use the geoprocessing tool, "Tiled Labels to annotation".

No problem until now that I have updated to 3.0.1.  Only generating empty database.

See labelling in my map for the extend I use, but anything is converted in each annotation generated.

So how to return to v 3 or even 2.x to be able to do some works.

Sorry again,

Thanks for the tip. But again, the same panel where only one instance of Pro. Like it combines in one place after updating itself. Just for my information, why my 3,0,1 is labelled 3,0,3605?? Not 3,0,1.

So it seems you're on the primary Uninstall or change a program window vs. the "view installed updates" window of the Control Panel and are seeing ArcGIS Pro 3.0 application.  You have to go one more window deep to see the installed updates to access the ArcGIS Pro 3.0.1 patch.  This link will show you how to get to the viewed installed updates window.

With regard to your question - as this is the primary application window for programs, you will see ArcGIS Pro 3.0.36056 and not 3.0.1 (that's the patch one more window deep).  The 36056 number is the final ArcGIS Pro 3.0 build release candidate from the development team.  It's just a number that increments up internally on new builds, alpha candidates, beta candidates and release candidates.

The directions worked really well for myself.

Clicked the Windows buttona nd preformed a search for control panel opening the dialog below.

Then Click on the "Programs - Uninstall a program"

Then Left hand column click on "View installed updates" and uninstalled the Patch 3.3.1 for myself.

This pathway / option no longer appears to be available on Windows 11.  Does anybody know how to roll back to more functional versions of Pro without uninstalling the software entirely?  I've had enough of 3.4, time to return to 3.0.2.

Correct in Windows 11 ArcGIS software patches and updates are no longer available via the control panel.

They can be listed with Windows Package Manager - WinGet command in Powershell

WinGet list --name ArcGIS

 So it is possible to remove a specific patches using the uninstall option

e.g. WinGet uninstall --name "ArcGIS Pro 3.5 Patch 3 (3.5.3)"

This is very good to know as I was banging my head trying to figure out where the "uninstall" features for service packs were moved to in Windows 11.  It's a little crazy in 2025 that MS is forcing the user to return to a command prompt to remove items such as this.  But thank-you for this information - now I know!

Ça serait plus sécurisant d'avoir, un utilitaire directement dans pro pour choisir le retour en arrière.  On est pas tous habileté à passer par le terminal

Hi Marcel

Although it is not possible to rollback a patch,  you can change the update to only inform users of patches in a specific ArcGIS Pro release as of ArcGIS Pro 3.4 ref: Configure update notifications | ArcGIS Pro

This was addressed via an ArcGIS Idea post, namely ArcGIS Pro upgrade tool allows user to pick what v... - Esri Community.  So this method will be the best place to raise your suggestion to enhance ArcGIS Pro further 🙂

Cheers,

Angelo
