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

From the list find the Package Identity Name of the Software Update.
Run this command to uninstall the KB3144756 silently:
DISM.exe /Online /Remove-Package /PackageName:Package_for_KB3144756~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.1.0 /quiet /norestart
It might require a reboot for the update to be fully removed.
