Uninstall Microsoft Software Update deployed with SCCM

I recently had to uninstall a Software Update deployed by SCCM 2012 on a Windows 10 client. Before when running SCCM 2007 i used to run WUSA with the following syntax:

wusa.exe / uninstall / kb: <KBnumber> /quiet /norestart

This didnt work  with the /quiet parameter so instead i had to use DISM as i need to be able to uninstall it silently.

DISM takes the packageName of the Software Update as input which can be found by running the following command on a client which have the Software Update installed:

dism /online /get-packages /format:table

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.10586.0
