This Technote discusses the necessary steps to remove a hotfix.
Solution Details
Solution Steps:
After an Aveva hotfix is installed, it will show up in the Hotfix Viewer application so you can keep track of which ones are installed.
If you ever need to remove a hotfix, you have to manually remove it from an xml file so that it no longer displays in the viewer.
Locate the file below, make a backup copy and delete the hotfix entry text.
Once the hotfix text has been deleted, re-open Hotfix Viewer and it will not be removed.

More of a question, so right now running 2020 R2 P01and have an ongoing NAD issue. We have a wwAccount and an operator on each station. to get around the 'NAD issue' operator was given Admin rights. This has been working. Now has a guy in one specific site who keeps deleting the password for wwAdmin account from AD. To resolve the CNA must be run, to update the password. Client has noticed that the 'LMX.dll' file from HF-IMS1436238 is being deleted / reverted when the CNA utility is run. Confirmed by monitoring the file date.
