On Tuesday, Microsoft released the expected cumulative updates for all supported versions of Windows 10. Windows 10 users, however, did not take long to start complaining on forums and socials.
There are many who claim that they do not can use their printers after the cumulative updates are installed, while others report installation problems.
Cumulative updates KB5005565 and KB5005566 are what are causing the above issues. After applying them to one system many report problems when using network printers.
They can no longer print documents using printers network, and the printers start working again when they manually uninstall the cumulative update using Settings or the command line.
"This update has ruined printer sharing for hundreds of offices in the United States," says one user.
Apparently the update was trying to fix once again the PrintNightmare vulnerability also known as CVE-2021-36958. The term PrintNightmware is used to describe a remote execution vulnerability code that exists in the Windows Print Spooler service.
Attackers can gain administrative access to machine. It is important to note that these cumulative updates are necessary to protect your devices, but if you are unable to use the print service, you should temporarily uninstall them.
In addition to printing problems, problems with installing the above updates have also been reported. If you can not install the update, you can try the offline installer from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
