Updates for VS 2017 are sometimes contain serious bugs. This will never, ever change, as long as software is written by humans. There will ALWAYS be bugs in VS and therefore the ability to downgrade will ALWAYS remain necessary. In that case the only way to get a working development environment again in a reasonable time is to install a previous, working version.
Microsoft makes it really hard to do this. There is a page about this but it only provides links to a few specific versions (currently 15.4.5 and 15.5.7, but not 15.6.
Visual Studio Professional is licensed on a per-user basis. Each licensed user may install and use the software on any number of devices to design, develop, test, and demonstrate their programs.

for example) and installing one requires a very lengthy download and some command line hacking. Please provide an EASY way to install a previous version. Virtually every other software vendor allows previous versions to be installed. The installer doesn't necessarily need to present a choice of versions. If there was simply an ISO/ZIP of the complete installation of a previous version available, with links to all these previous versions and they did NOT try to sneakily update themselves to the latest version during installation this would be enough.

As an example, the upgrade from VS 15.6.7 to 15.7.1 has broken our build server, because the command nuget restore Is returning the error 'Error parsing solution file at: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation' That error is unhelpful. The solution file hasn't changed in a month. Going back to previous versions of the solution file doesn't help. So, it appears the upgrade broke it, and we have a build in a week and a half.
There is no easy way to roll back this install, so it is going to be very difficult to resolve this.

I'm in a similar situation, unfortunately there's no supported option besides the uninstall/reinstall route you've already mentioned. You could probably save some time by backing up all your extensions and settings etc. The processes outlined below might be different for more recent versions but I think the process would be similar. Edit: This is pretty weird, I'm starting to think that perhaps Drunken Code Monkey's solution is more accurate than I initially thought. I was expecting to have to follow the same process as Schneider described (uninstall / full reinstall), but as soon as the uninstall of VS Enterprise finished, I was able to open VS Pro as normal.
Edit 2: Turns out it was not as normal, a bunch of things didn't work (creating ASP.NET MVC projects) and I had to do a repair. Not quite as bad as a full reinstall, fortunately.
