Cannot print since latest Windows 10 update

Hi there,

One of our users can no longer print since her laptop got the most recent Windows 10 updates (her laptop is up-to-date as of this morning).

One of three things happens when she tries to print:

-- The application shows all the installed printers in the drop-down, but when she clicks print, nothing happens

-- The application shows all the installed printers in the drop-down, but when she clicks print, she gets an error saying there are no printers installed

-- The application does not show any printers

The printers are all showing in control panel.

It is not even possible to print to PDF.

I have tried restarting the print spooler service in services.msc but that hasn't helped.

Any advice?

Best

Paul

    all I did was changed one print properties setting under device managerand that was enough get the printer working again did not bother with uninstalling the update waste of time following that poor advice as that leads to further installation errors down the track.

    Did the same wi-fi connection  on the laptop working like a dream again still got the update installed.

    Windows Security Essentials will not load as well on my PC.  Do you think the uninstall will help with that?
