    Generally updates provides you bug fixes and security fixes. Therefore, it is recommended not to uninstall them, unless if they cause any issue or there are other reasons which you need to uninstall them like compatibility issue.

    Hello

    With kb5001716 install, windows may attempt to download and install feature updates to your device if it is approaching or has reached the end of support for your currently installed Windows version. Feature updates offer new functionality and help keep your device secure. 

    If you have no plan to use the latest windows 10 version, it is OK to remove this update from your pc. If you always want to get the latest Windows 10 version, it is recommended to keep this update.

    Here is a link for reference of this update:
