uninstall assemblies from GAC - Access Denied

On a SharePoint 2010 development server running Windows Server 2008 R2, I had to uninstall some assemblies in the GAC and keep getting access denied, when trying to delete them.
So, looking for at a way to do this, I had to change a Local Security Policy, in order to allow them to be deleted:
* Open Local Security Policy MMC
* Goto Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options
* Locate “User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval” and change the setting from Enabled to Disabled
* Reboot and now the assemblies can be deleted
IMPORTANT! Never ever do this on a production system, and always turn it back on afterwards.

PsConfig step by step /Configuration Wizard. “Upgrade Available” vs “Upgrade required”

Image
The "Upgrade available" simply means that there is a newer patch available at the SharePoint Updates page than the one installed on your SharePoint farm. We checked the Farm version and made sure its the latest available version. Getting "Upgrade Required" error message in SharePoint 2013? Well, Ideally, We have to run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard on the server(s) right after installing the service pack/patches. In Windows Server 2012, SharePoint updates are part of Windows Server Update. It installs patches but never runs Products configuration wizard automatically! You still have to run psconfig wizard to complete patching! ----------------------------------------------------  https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2014/02/upgrade-available-server-status-after-sharepoint-patching.html https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2015/03/upgrade-required-status-in-sharepoint-central-admininstration.html https://blog.stefan-gossner.com/2015/08/20/why-i-prefer-psconfigui...
