I happened upon this article and after experiencing the odd 3-4 second freeze in MSFS -usually every 4 or 5 minutes- I have uninstalled KB500 update from my system as per these instructions. Upon launching a flight from CYYJ, an airport that I definitely experienced these freezups, I am into a perfectly freeze and stutter free flight. A Win 10 update that screws things up, who’d have guessed? Just my experience though… good luck all and cheers with this amazing sim.
I have installed this update and do not have any stutters or freezes. I suspect this is going to be highly dependent upon the specs of each system, perhaps related to graphics cards? I am running an AMD Razen 5 with an AMD 5700 XT, 32 GB memory and two SSD drives. My internet connection is 200 mps.
I experienced this too, thanks for this find! 
Hello,
I have moved this to Bugs & Issues. Anything having to do with stutters or abnormal performance goes there and not Wishlist. Thank you and best of luck!

Does anyone have any tips on how to uninstall this? I’ve tried every option I could find and I keep getting errors, like this:
I removed it and I’ve gone from quite a stuttery experience post hotfix to virtually none at all. That’s on a Ryzen 3900X, 2080 TI, SSD & 32GB RAM.
Hi, do a system restore at a later date… 
At a later date?
or if your French isn’t too good, type “Windows Update” into the Windows search box, select ‘windows update settings’, select ‘view update history’ and then click the ‘Uninstall Updates’ link at the top of the page.
Find the update in question and uninstall it.

No it will not work I have already tested them… 
Windows needs this update to work, it cannot be uninstalled all alone…
It most definitely can, using the method described in the post above yours.
Hi you say that to me?
Yes. 
You can 100% uninstall the ‘KB5001330’ update only via the Windows Update settings.
All you are doing is rolling that particular bit of Windows back to the same state it was in before you installed the update, and it is designed to allow you to do so in just this case (where an update is broken and/or is creating unintended issues).
You don’t need to do a system restore either.
Ok ok then if it worked for you “great” me I tried and my windows opened an alert telling me that it was not possible to uninstall … so weird 
I have the update installed on my system and it doesn’t seem to be causing any issues. But I tried the option to uninstall it after reading this post, and if I wanted to get rid of it I couldn’t using the method described here.
I can click on some of the items in this menu and I get an uninstall option but if I click on the KB5001330 update it gives me no option to uninstall.

one thing that might help, especially if you can’t or won’t deinstall the KB5001330 update and having fps drop issues is to set your pc energy settings to ultra, though normaly this option is not even there, you can enable it via a cmd command, open the console and just copy paste “powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61” and press enter.
after that type in the win-search “energy” go to energy plan selection and choose the new “ultimate performance” (or corresponding name depending of your OS language)
I’m not sure how or if this update is related to the PC power settings but as I said I wasn’t getting any Issues anyway, I was just trying to see if I could uninstall it if necessary.
If it is affected by the power plan and your suggestion of enabling the ultra option works that’s good info. 
I use the AMD Ryzen high performance plan and that seems to work ok. So if you have an AMD system it might be worth trying that instead of enabling the ultra plan.
It might be down to the version of Windows you’re running. I have Windows 10 Pro, perhaps it’s not possible to uninstall it with ‘Home’ but I don’t see why that should be the case.
This may shed some light on it…
FWIW I had a BSOD having installed it.
There must be something different between our systems then, as that method worked for me.
