But it’s less common that two updates released so close together cause the same problem. It’s pretty common for a single Windows update to cause specific problems (please keep it up Microsoft – we are thriving off your update incompetence). Best thing to do is roll back the update (scroll down for instructions) and wait for the patched to be patched before patching it in yourself again. Now, Microsoft has unlocked registry settings that could fix the problem, but this may make your PC vulnerable to the exploits again. One user even reported that “hundreds of printers” in an office are now not functioning – ouch. Since the patch, users are reporting that network printers have stopped working, even for users with administrative privileges. That’s good, because security should always be a priority, but it’s apparently come at the cost of printer sharing and network printer functionality. Now in September, Microsoft has enforced a patch that addresses the last of the PrintNightmare security vulnerabilities that were first discovered in January. If a problem is not yet “FIXED,” then either read that entry for workarounds to that specific problem or scroll down the page for advice on how to roll back updates. Note: if a problem here is marked as “FIXED,” it means Microsoft has rolled out an update that fixes the problem, and the solution is simply to make sure your system is fully updated. We’ve rounded up the latest Windows 10 update problems, along with the fixes for them. The problem is that Windows 10 updates can bring their own problems, so we’re here to talk you through what to do when Windows 10 updates do more harm than good. In early July, Microsoft moved to fix many of these security holes in the system, so it’s essential you stay up to date.
Why are we saying this? Because it stresses just how important keeping Windows 10 up to date is.
These include vulnerabilities like “PrintNightmare” that lets hackers get remote access to the OS and install their own programs, as well as a vulnerability in Windows Hello – the facial recognition and biometric fingerprint feature. A major report from Beyond Trust in June 2021 showed the OS to have over 1000 current security vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers. Windows 10 has had its share of problems of late.
